Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

HPE’s Israeli subsidiary Hewlett Packard (Israel) Ltd. (Ra’anana; established 1998) is the vehicle for its in-country supply relationships and holds sole-supplier status across multiple Israeli government procurement contracts.¹² HPE supplies Itanium servers and maintenance to the Population and Immigration Authority under a sole-supplier arrangement (June 2023–June 2026, NIS 3,829,410 / ~USD 818,250) for the Aviv system, whose registry contains the “Yesha” database recording Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and Palestinians in the West Bank/East Jerusalem.³⁴ HPE Israel holds a sole-supplier contract with the Israel National Digital Agency for the national biometric ID system’s computing infrastructure (extended March 2022–April 2025 at NIS 3,500,000, then May 2025–May 2028 at NIS 3,129,750), Data Center Care services to the Israel Police as sole supplier (NIS 4m through December 2023, renewed January 2024 through December 2026 at NIS 4m), and equipment-maintenance services to the Israel Prison Service as sole supplier (NIS 371,856 Feb 2023–Feb 2024; NIS 364,075 April 2024; NIS 445,000 March 2025–Feb 2026).¹⁵ Attributed to DXC/legacy-HP: the Basel checkpoint biometric system (EDS-origin, terminated end-2016) and the Aviv database-management contract (transferred from HPE to DXC in April 2017) are DXC/legacy items - HPE’s current Aviv role is hardware/server provision only.⁶

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

HPE’s Itanium server hardware supplied to Israeli agencies is manufactured in the United States, and no public evidence identified of HPE products manufactured in or labelled as originating from Israeli settlements.³ OHCHR database: HPE’s inclusion in the OHCHR database of businesses involved in Israeli settlement activity is not confirmed - over 100 organisations have petitioned OHCHR to add HPE (indicating it was not listed at the time of that campaign), and while the database’s September 2025 update added 68 companies, available sources do not confirm whether HPE was among them.⁷⁴ No public evidence identified of HPE products being subject to Israeli export controls or settlement-origin labelling disputes.

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Zerto acquisition (HPE-own, in scope): in July 2021 HPE announced the acquisition of Zerto, an Israeli cloud disaster-recovery/data-protection company (co-founded 2009 by Ziv and Oded Kedem; dual HQ Herzliya/Boston; ~500 employees), for USD 374 million cash, expected to add >USD 130 million run-rate ARR, closing in Q4 FY2021 and integrating into HPE GreenLake - a confirmed USD 374 million capital flow directly into an Israeli technology firm.⁸⁹ No public evidence identified of additional HPE acquisitions of Israeli-headquartered companies beyond Zerto (Cape Networks was South Africa/San Francisco-based; Niara and Scytale were US-based).¹⁰ HPE’s equity is ~88% institutionally owned (Dodge & Cox ~14.5%, Vanguard ~8.5%, BlackRock ~7.7%, State Street ~5.5%) - standard US funds, with no Israeli sovereign or state-linked institutional block publicly identified.¹¹ Attributed to DXC: the Beitar Illit settlement R&D facility (EDS 2006 → legacy-HP 2008 → HPE 2015–2017 → DXC April 2017) is a DXC asset from April 2017 onward.⁶

Operational Presence & Market Activity

HPE operates an active Israeli presence through Hewlett Packard (Israel) Ltd. (Ra’anana; established 1998), with an Israeli-market homepage (hpe.com/il/en).¹¹² A reported ~2,500 “Hewlett-Packard Israel” headcount conflates both post-split entities (HP Inc. + HPE) and cannot be attributed to HPE alone; HPE does not disclose Israel-specific headcount or revenue.² HPE’s subsidiary markets and services the full enterprise portfolio (servers, storage, Aruba, GreenLake) to Israeli enterprise, government, and military customers.¹² Israeli military server farm (reported July 2024): Who Profits reports HPE was selected in July 2024 to lead a new (reportedly underground) military server farm, providing hardware and managing construction-company selection; HPE has not publicly confirmed this and no official contract value or Israeli procurement publication was identified, so it is recorded here as an unconfirmed Who-Profits-sourced selection rather than a verified signed contract.⁴ Ongoing HPE-own government contracts (summarised): PIBA/Aviv (NIS 3,829,410, to June 2026), INDA biometric infrastructure (NIS 3,129,750, to May 2028), Israel Police DCC (NIS 4m, to December 2026), Israel Prison Service maintenance (NIS 445,000, to February 2026).¹³⁵ Attributed to DXC/legacy-HP: the pre-2017 military IT virtualisation contract (Navy, ~2009), the Kidma prison information system, and HP-managed biometric ID-card production terminals are attributed to DXC’s predecessor chain or legacy-HP.⁶

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

HPE was incorporated in Delaware and began trading independently on 2 November 2015 following the Hewlett-Packard Company separation; its Israeli vehicle Hewlett Packard (Israel) Ltd. predates the split (1998) and was retained by HPE rather than HP Inc.¹¹³ Who Profits maintains a dedicated HPE profile (separate from HP Inc. and DXC) attributing current Israeli government contracts to HPE; the BDS Movement distinguishes HPE from HP Inc. (while its consumer “Boycott HP” campaign addresses both under an “HP-branded corporations” umbrella); and AFSC Investigate holds a dedicated HPE profile noting the 2017 DXC transfer of the Basel system and Beitar Illit centre.¹¹⁴⁶ HPE’s 10-K filings list Hewlett Packard (Israel) Ltd. as an HPE subsidiary.¹⁵

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

HPE does not publicly disclose Israel-specific revenue or operating profit; its global FY2024 revenue was ~USD 31.8 billion.¹⁶ The documented Israeli government contracts total well below USD 5 million annually - an operationally marginal but symbolically significant revenue stream - while the Zerto acquisition (USD 374 million, 2021) is the single largest HPE–Israel capital event post-2015, with Zerto’s Herzliya operations contributing to the Israeli tax base and employment.⁸ HPE’s profits via its Israeli subsidiary are subject to Israeli corporate tax and, on repatriation to the US, to US foreign-earnings treatment; no profit-repatriation disputes or special fiscal arrangements were identified.
