Also note the US government has been using companies like NSO to push its own political agenda since it lets it sell this sort of technology to allies (like Saudi Arabia) without scrutiny. This is following two other scandals relating to NSO in Israel that are getting quite a lot of press here. For example the inquiry suggests that police members used Pegasus to spy on opposition leaders who opposed Netanyahu a-la-Watergate. To be clear this _is_ a watergate level scandal here and you'd be hard pressed to find a news website in Israel not mentioning NSO on the homepage. (Edit: noted I didn't post any citations like https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-netanyahu-gave-greenlight-to-saudi-arabia-to-use-nso-spyware-report-says-1.10573831 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-netanyahu-gave-... or https://www.jpost.com/international/article-694887 https://www.jpost.com/international/article-694887 but happy to post references on any of the above since it's very easy to find these references (it's all over the news) and I personally dislike NSO)
