An under-fire Amazon executive still has her job ‘as of today’ after a necklace she wore for a company video triggered a boycott.

A source would not be drawn on the controversy surrounding Ruba Borno’s Palestine necklace.

They would only say that Borno, a vice president of Global Specialists and Partner Organizations, is still currently employed by the e-commerce behemoth. 

Borno caused outrage after being spotted wearing the necklace in a video promoting a company conference in Las Vegas.

The map that was around Borno’s neck was Israel including West Bank and Gaza Strip — territories that the Palestinians have demanded as the basis for an independent state.

Amazon was quick to remove the video and stated that the clip was never intended to be political.
