PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 27: Anadolu Agency videoed the headquarters of Oracle France in Colombes, near Paris, on Saturday, Sept. 27.Oracle is a global technology company with significant operations in cloud computing, software, and artificial intelligence.The filming comes amid ongoing developments regarding the future of the social media platform TikTok in the United States.On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order certifying that a deal to shift TikTok's U.S. operations to an American consortium meets national security requirements. President Trump stated the investor consortium would include tech company Oracle, along with Michael Dell, Rupert Murdoch, and others.Separately, a video published on the social media account of U.S. influencer Debra Lea showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at Israel’s Consulate General in New York on Friday. In the meeting, Netanyahu described social media platforms as a “weapon” to support his government's base in the U.S.“It’s the most important weapon… to secure our base in the U.S.,” Netanyahu said. He identified TikTok as “the most important purchase going on right now,” suggesting that control over the platform could be “consequential.”Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s longstanding and open support for Israel has sparked concerns among some observers that the company's potential authority over TikTok's U.S. operations could be used to benefit the Israeli government.(Footage by Mohamad Salaheldin Abdelg Alsayed/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
