Israel PM vows action as police Pegasus spying scandal widens

Al Jazeera  

Targets include ex-PM Netanyahu’s son, two aides and two former officials suspected of leaking information to media. Israeli police used Pegasus spyware to hack phones of dozens of prominent Israelis – including Netanyahu’s son, activists and senior government officials, the news report said. Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said “following the recent publications” he had asked Public Security Minister Omer Barlev to establish “an external and independent commission of inquiry, headed by a judge”, to probe the allegations. “To the extent that the commission finds irregularities and failures, they will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” Shabtai said in a statement on Monday, adding the incidents cited by Calcalist predated his appointment in 2021. Pegasus is a malware product made by the Israeli firm NSO that can switch on a phone’s camera or microphone and harvest its data. Something inconceivable has happened here.” Calls for independent inquiry Police have been conducting internal investigations, and answering questions before parliamentary oversight panels, since Calcalist last month reported that its investigators had used Pegasus against Israeli citizens – sometimes without warrants.
