If I had to guess.... as a person who once did a fair amount of business in the middle east, but Egypt and not Israel...
I had a former customer there _go out of business_ when the Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm!) administration supportd an attempted putsch by (in my customer's words) "The Retarded F___ing Nazis who killed Sadat for making peace with the Jews."
Israel and the non-Brotherhood Arab countries face the burdensome situation that their most reliable "ally" is a country that depending on the politics is going to support the Brotherhood _and_ the large wannabe-hegemonic Russian satellite state trying to develop nuclear weapons. (Oh, and funded said state's reconquest of Syria in the process). Said schizophrenic state also has a massive surveillance system of its own.
My guess: they all don't look at this as a violation of civil rights or ethics, they look at this as a means for the little countries like them to get a leg up on some of the insane intelligence agencies of the large countries that are funding enemies both domestic and foreign.
