CEO resigns after tweeting "War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are", which is referring to Israel's response on the Hamas attacks of Oct 7th.
I wonder if occurrences such as this will lead to a CEO playbook of sorts that dictates companies and their CEOs stay out of the public discourse.

Might is right

True, the history of the two nations is pockmarked with bad blood and ill intent on both sides, we can only hope for peaceful negotiations to alleviate the suffering of the civilians who bear the brunt of these disputes.
