The WSJ reports on the ongoing controversy at Boston Consulting Group, where two senior partners this week stepped down from leadership roles over their ties to a Gaza aid-distribution initiative. The project started as a pro bono venture but somehow morphed into a paid gig that reportedly included “developing a postwar financial model to determine the cost of relocating Palestinians out of Gaza.”… Getting involved in Gaza? Teaming up with a security firm with ex-CIA agents? Riling up a U.K. parliamentary committee? Not very smart. … Many BCG staff, clients and others are furious at the Boston-based firm.
Update — 7.12.25 — The Financial Times explains the UK angle. Meanwhile, the NY Post and Aljazeera are jumping on the story, among others.
