Intel<\/a> and Siemens<\/a> said they are pulling out of Web Summit, the biggest technology conference in Europe, following remarks by the event\u2019s leader that criticized Western support for Israel after the Hamas attacks.<\/p>\n

\n

The US chipmaker confirmed on Thursday that it was \u201cwithdrawing from Web Summit.\u201d A representative for the Santa Clara, California-based company, which has longstanding operations in Israel, declined to comment further.<\/p>\n

Siemens, the German engineering and manufacturing company, is listed as one of the\u00a0top sponsors<\/a>\u00a0of the summit scheduled for next month in Lisbon. But after having \u201creviewed the situation,\u201d the company will no longer be a partner or attend the event this year, a representative said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Y Combinator\u2019s Garry Tan, Sequoia Capital\u2019s Ravi Gupta and other prominent venture capitalists also have canceled plans to attend the event. Several tech executives based in Israel have dropped out as well.<\/p>\n

Paddy Cosgrave, who runs the event, issued\u00a0an apology<\/a>\u00a0earlier this week. \u201cI understand that what I said, the timing of what I said, and the way it has been presented has caused profound hurt to many,\u201d he said on the Web Summit site. \u201cTo anyone who was hurt by my words, I apologize deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n

He initially posted about the conflict last week and reiterated the sentiment in subsequent posts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
