In 2023, HP Israel's parent company HP Inc. came again under criticism for its cooperation with the IDF in relation to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. The BDS movement has called for consumers and organizations to boycott all HPE IT services and products as well as printers, computers, and printer cartridges from HP Inc.^[4]

In 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise was identified in a report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights that listed companies facilitating the occupation of Palestine. The report states:

"Before IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) maintained the database and its Israeli subsidiary is still providing servers. Hewlett Packard (HP) has long enabled the apartheid systems of Israel, supplying technology to the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the prison service and police. Since the 2015 split of the company into Hewlett Packard Enterprises and HP Inc., opaque business structures have obscured the roles of their seven remaining Israeli subsidiaries."^[5][6]
