Israel will investigate allegations that police illicitly used homegrown spyware that’s gained notoriety abroad against its own citizens.
The government will form a committee to look into a series of reports by Calcalist, a Hebrew business daily, that law enforcement officials used NSO Group’s Pegasus software without a court order to tap into the phones of citizens both prominent and obscure, including a key prosecution witness in former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial.
