MongoDB

Key Findings

• Economic: MongoDB maintains a documented Israeli corporate and commercial presence, including a registered local entity, a publicly listed Tel Aviv office, distribution through Matrix, and professional-services support for named Israeli customers.^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
• Digital: Primary procurement records establish MongoDB use in Israeli civilian government systems and the Bank of Israel’s on-premises core infrastructure. Ministry of Health notices separately identify proposed licensing and support arrangements; the notices do not establish final expenditure.^{7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}
• Political: Official corporate publications repeatedly promote Israel’s technology economy, while company-issued correspondence affirmatively authorises Israeli government sales channels. Neither establishes endorsement of Israeli military or settlement policy.^{13, 14, 3, 8}
• Not found: No public evidence identified of a direct MongoDB contract with the IDF or Israeli Ministry of Defence, a purpose-built Israeli targeting system, or a verified settlement deployment. Retained ELTA recruitment evidence establishes demand for MongoDB expertise, without proving procurement or an operational military application.^{2, 15, 16, 17, 18}

Target Profile

Executive Summary

MongoDB’s documented Israel/Palestine nexus principally concerns commercial database infrastructure, civilian public-sector procurement, local employment, and technology-sector promotion. The company supplies general-purpose database software and managed services. Its Israeli presence includes MongoDB Israel Ltd, registered in 2013, an office announced in February 2014, and a currently published Tel Aviv workplace. Later corporate accounts report a 2019 Tel Aviv establishment date and new premises opened in December 2022; the unexplained relationship between those milestones must remain explicit.^{19, 1, 13, 14, 3, 4}

The strongest digital evidence goes beyond general market availability. Government procurement documentation identifies MongoDB Enterprise in named civilian government applications supplied through Matrix. Bank of Israel records confirm on-premises MongoDB databases in core systems, alongside an approved sole-supplier arrangement through Matrix. Ministry of Health publications identify proposed licensing, maintenance, and support arrangements for 2025, 2026, and 2027. These records establish distinct procurement and deployment facts, with different evidentiary limits; they do not collectively establish completed payments, Atlas hosting, or military use.^{7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

Economic involvement includes local offices and historically reported employment, reseller and implementation channels, Israeli cloud-region availability, and named customer relationships. MongoDB documents technical work with cybersecurity company Sentra and educational software developer Cambium. The political record consists principally of repeated favourable promotion of Israel’s technology economy and affirmative authorisation of government sales channels. Neither commercial authorisation nor employer branding establishes support for military conduct, settlement expansion, or a government-directed publicity campaign.^{14, 3, 8, 23, 5, 6, 25, 24}

No public evidence identified of a direct MongoDB contract with the IDF or Israeli Ministry of Defence, a verified surveillance programme, a purpose-built Israeli weapons or targeting system, or an identifiable settlement installation. An ELTA recruitment listing names MongoDB among required database technologies but does not establish a supplier contract, production instance, or weapons programme. These limits underpin the fixed Military score of zero. The final human-vetted V6.6 outcome is BRS 503, Tier C (Substantial Complicity), driven by the economic, digital, and political record described here; this corpus classification is not a judicial finding.^{2, 15, 16, 17, 18}

Timeline of Relevant Events

Corporate Overview

MongoDB, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York. Its fiscal 2026 filing describes a subscription-led database and cloud-services business, reporting approximately US$2.46 billion in consolidated revenue and 46% of revenue from customers outside the United States. That international category does not separately identify Israeli revenue.¹⁹

The Israeli corporate-information record identifies MongoDB Israel Ltd, registration 514926559, with a registered address at 48 Menachem Begin Road, Tel Aviv-Yafo. MongoDB’s office directory separately lists WeWork at 144 Derech Menachem Begin. The registered address and workplace must not be conflated. A published subprocessor inventory names “MongoDB Israel Inc.” among corporate affiliates; the reviewed evidence does not resolve the exact legal relationship between that naming and the registry entry, or establish every shareholder and ownership percentage.^{1, 4, 30}

The commercial structure includes distinct roles. Matrix is documented as a distributor and government software reseller; Commit’s August 2026 announcement concerns authorised professional-services delivery. These designations do not establish identical exclusivity, customer coverage, or contractual responsibilities. In particular, Matrix’s sole-supplier status for the Bank of Israel reflects its ability to supply the required on-premises licensing, while authorised cloud marketplace channels were also available.^{2, 27, 8, 24}

Office history requires three milestones: the contemporary February 2014 opening announcement, the retrospectively reported 2019 establishment date, and the December 2022 opening of new premises. Historical workforce disclosures report more than 30 customer-facing employees in 2022 and more than 50 employees in the subsequent office profile. They do not establish an October 2026 headcount or a dedicated military research facility.^{13, 14, 3}

Domain Summaries

Military: Military

Mechanism of Involvement

The retained evidence is military-adjacent rather than proof of a defined Israeli military supply relationship. MongoDB markets database capabilities to defence agencies and contractors, including application development, supply-chain management, and maintenance analytics. Its Atlas for Government offering is a separate US-government environment; that product’s existence does not establish an Israeli government or military deployment.^{16, 18}

The 2014 Matrix announcement identifies defence among the distributor’s customer sectors. More specifically, an IAI/ELTA recruitment listing updated in August 2026 names MongoDB alongside PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server in responsibilities covering database installation, configuration, upgrades, and lifecycle management. This establishes a stated organisational requirement for MongoDB expertise.^{2, 17}

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The company’s strongest defence is the absence of a documented transaction or military application connecting these facts. Matrix’s broader defence business cannot be attributed transitively to every distributed product. ELTA’s recruitment requirements do not identify a licence purchase, deployed production database, supplier payment, targeting function, or named weapons programme.^{2, 17}

No public evidence identified of a direct MongoDB contract with the IDF or Israeli Ministry of Defence, a MongoDB-authored Israeli weapons-specific system, or a documented kinetic targeting output. Generic defence marketing and US-government product security requirements do not fill that gap. The audit could not independently verify the specific Rafael recruitment advertisement or historical first-person IDF account; neither is retained as proof of military deployment. Military remains 0.00.^{2, 16, 17, 18}

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Digital: Digital

Mechanism of Involvement

Protocol 1502 documents MongoDB Enterprise use by the Government ICT Authority through Matrix in the gov.il portal, government URL-shortening service, government forms server, Maslul system, and a process engine. A contemporaneous MongoDB Limited letter independently verifies Matrix’s government reseller authorisation as of April 2022.^{7, 27}

The Bank of Israel’s January 2025 professional opinion confirms MongoDB databases installed on bank-owned servers in core systems, including XBRL for banking regulatory reporting and DATA TAG for classifying institutional assessment findings. The February approval establishes a sole-supplier procurement through Matrix. It does not establish that MongoDB operates the bank’s systems or hosts their data.^{8, 9}

Ministry of Health notices identify proposed licensing, maintenance, and support arrangements for 2025 and 2026 at US$62,100 each. The October 2026 notice proposes US$63,885 for 2027 and specifies an 8 November objection deadline. Accordingly, the latter remains an intention to contract at the audit cutoff.^{10, 11, 12}

Atlas documentation separately lists AWS Tel Aviv, Azure Israel Central, and Google Cloud Tel Aviv as selectable regions. This establishes available hosting geography, not executed customer deployments or universal routing of customer information through Israel.^{23, 15, 31, 32}

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The strongest defence is the documented civilian character of the named applications and the distinction between software supply and operational control. The bank’s deployment is on-premises. Health procurement notices do not identify workload location, data categories, replication arrangements, final expenditure, or a military beneficiary. No public evidence identified of a named Israeli surveillance programme or purpose-built targeting application.^{7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17}

Sentra’s confirmed Atlas migration supports sensitive-data discovery and enterprise security; it does not establish Israeli state surveillance. Its reported September 2026 technology-partner appointment and dedicated Atlas integration remain unverified and are excluded from the findings. Cambium’s production Marvad AI system analyses examination submissions, but the direct contractual beneficiary and operational integration with Ministry of Education production systems remain unconfirmed. The civilian examination-service connection must not be hardened into a direct MongoDB state contract.^{5, 6, 25, 33}

The June 2024 government-project presentation confirms publicly acknowledged government use without identifying its operator or architecture. No basis was established for equating it with the Bank of Israel deployment or attributing it to Commit.^{8, 28, 29, 24}

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Economic: Economic

Mechanism of Involvement

The economic record establishes sustained operational participation: an Israeli registered company, office premises, historically reported employees, customer support, distribution, and implementation services. The 2022 report of support for more than 900 customers does not specify that all were Israeli-domiciled. Neither that figure nor historical workforce counts establishes current Israeli revenue or market share.^{1, 14, 3, 4}

Matrix’s September 2025 investor presentation continues to display MongoDB among leading partners, supplementing the 2014 appointment and later procurement evidence. Commit’s 2026 authorisation adds a distinct professional-services delivery channel. MongoDB’s own Sentra publications document direct technical collaboration after November 2024, including reported reductions in index size and query time.^{2, 5, 6, 24, 34}

The government procurement record provides bounded financial evidence. Protocol 1502 distinguishes historical arrangements, proposals, approved periods, and conditional options; its procurement table and narrative contain different approved and recommended amounts. Those figures must not be aggregated as expenditure. Likewise, the Bank of Israel’s approximately US$275,000 estimate, including options, is not proof of the final amount paid.^{7, 8, 9}

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

Ordinary civilian commerce is the strongest defence. The evidence does not establish settlement-specific revenue, ownership of Israeli data-centre buildings, military financing, or a controlling Israeli shareholder. Atlas relies on third-party cloud infrastructure. Local employment and incorporation establish economic activity but do not quantify capital expenditure, tax payments, taxable profits, or intercompany transfers.^{19, 20, 1, 3, 23, 15, 31, 32}

No public evidence identified of MongoDB importing settlement-origin goods, owning settlement property, directly holding Israeli sovereign bonds, or acquiring a verified Israeli defence operating company. The examined acquisition record does not justify reclassifying unrelated software acquisitions as Israeli military investment. Institutional shareholders’ other holdings and directors’ outside affiliations cannot independently establish MongoDB financing of those activities.^{19, 20}

Continuity after July and November 2024 is documented through later commercial publications, procurement records, and office listings. It does not itself prove activity in occupied territory or military use.^{4, 8, 11, 5, 34}

Named Entities and Evidence Map

Political: Political

Mechanism of Involvement

MongoDB’s official communications repeatedly present participation in Israel’s technology economy favourably. The 2014 announcement promotes local developer engagement; the 2022 Gabriella Cohen interview describes a strategically important innovation market; and the 2023 employee article, updated in March 2025, adopts “start-up nation” framing. This supports the audit’s limited finding of commercially oriented reputational normalisation through employer branding and market promotion.^{13, 14, 3}

Company-origin documents also establish affirmative government sales authorisation. A 20 December 2024 letter names Matrix, Google Cloud Marketplace, and AWS Marketplace as authorised government resellers. January 2025 correspondence from MongoDB’s Nir Atias confirms the Bank of Israel’s government-customer classification and discusses its on-premises requirements. These records establish knowledgeable commercial participation, without establishing political endorsement.⁸

The communications record also contains an explicit Ukraine response: MongoDB announced restrictions on additional sales in Russia and Belarus and humanitarian Atlas credits. No comparably specific Palestine-focused statement or programme was identified in the examined corporate record. That contrast is documentary; it does not establish motive or a comprehensive account of private assistance.^{19, 26, 21}

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The company’s strongest defence is that these communications concern recruitment, customers, and product adoption. No public evidence identified of a government-directed publicity programme, measurable public-opinion effect, settlement public diplomacy, or corporate endorsement of Israeli military conduct. Continued accessibility of the 2023–2025 article does not establish a new promotional campaign or fresh editorial endorsement during 2026.^{13, 14, 3, 8}

No public evidence identified in the examined disclosures of MongoDB-specific anti-BDS lobbying, settlement-organisation donations, IDF or FIDF financing, punishment of pro-Palestinian employee speech, or special reservist subsidies. Corporate filings do not provide a complete transaction-level record of every executive’s private donations; that limitation cannot be converted into an allegation.^{19, 20, 3, 26}

The fixed political score therefore concerns the bounded record of commercial promotion and state-sector authorisation. It does not rest on an established military donation, settlement operation, or formal geopolitical corporate mandate.^{19, 20, 14, 3, 8}

Complicity Index Score

Method: V6.6 - final human-vetted values.

• V_MAX: 5.50 Avg_OTHERS: 2.67
• BRS Score: 503 Tier: C (Substantial Complicity)

The economic domain supplies V_MAX through documented local operations, employment, distribution, customer relationships, and civilian state-sector commerce; digital involvement reflects confirmed database use and supply relationships, while political involvement reflects corporate promotion and affirmative government sales authorisation.^{1, 3, 7, 8, 5, 24} Together these support the fixed Tier C classification, while the absence of a substantiated military supply mechanism preserves Military at zero.^{2, 16, 17} The scale-free, evidence-only, vetted method preserves the supplied scores without converting unresolved claims into established facts.

Methodology Note

• This dossier compiles only the four supplied domain audits and preserves their documentary boundaries; it introduces no independently researched allegations.
• Impact (I) concerns activity type under the scale-free method; M concerns scale, and P concerns directness. The final V6.6 scores are fixed human-vetted values.
• Temporal attribution distinguishes historical activity, current disclosures, proposals, approvals, and confirmed deployments. Divested or exited operations are mitigated; historical announcements do not alone prove uninterrupted continuity.
• Entity attribution follows the documented actor and transaction. A reseller’s defence customers, a customer’s unrelated government projects, or a director’s outside affiliations do not create transitive corporate responsibility.
• A verified settlement operation would count in both Economic and Political. No public evidence identified of such a MongoDB operation in the supplied audits.
• “No public evidence identified” records a negative research finding within the reviewed material, rather than proof of universal absence. Unverified, unresolved, and proposed matters retain those qualifications or are excluded.
