NEW YORK, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Walmart Foundation, the philanthropy arm of the U.S. retailer, has pledged $1 million to an Israeli disaster relief and emergency medical service organization. UBS , Goldman Sachs (GS.N) and Jefferies are among companies to have pledged aid to Israel. As the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies, others, including billionaire Elon Musk, are providing aid in the Middle East in other ways. Walmart does not operate stores in Israel, but employs 171 people in the country who work for its tech arm Walmart Global Tech, its Walmart U.S. operations and its Flipkart business in India. Walmart said its donation follows a $1 million grant the Walmart Foundation pledged to the U.S.
