Boston Consulting Group’s deepening Gaza crisis

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.
