Dive Brief:

• An Israeli former vice president of engineering for Intel agreed to dismiss his unlawful termination and retaliation lawsuit against the company without prejudice, according to court documents filed Feb. 20.
• The plaintiff alleged in an August 2024 complaint that Intel fired him after his co-worker filed a complaint on his behalf claiming that the plaintiff’s supervisor expressed support for Hamas on social media. The plaintiff, who had served with the Israeli army, said he was the only Israeli employee working under the supervisor. He further alleged that Intel took no action in response to the complaint and discriminated against him on the basis of his race and national origin.
• The plaintiff sought to proceed anonymously, but the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied his request, finding that “the strong interests in favor of open proceedings” outweighed those of the plaintiff. The court later stayed the case while the plaintiff appealed the anonymity decision to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He later moved to dismiss the appeal and the 2nd Circuit granted that motion on Feb. 24.
