The Israeli government has long viewed the Pegasus as an important tool for its foreign policy. An article in this year’s New York Times Magazine revealed how, for more than a decade, Israel has made strategic decisions about which countries allow licenses for Pegasus and which countries which will keep them.

The Israeli government has authorized the purchase of Pegasus by authoritarian governments, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which have used the weapon to spy on dissidents, human rights activists and journalists in those countries. Democratic-elected leaders in India, Hungary, Mexico, Panama and other countries also abuse Pegasus to spy on their political opponents.

Israel has used this tool as a bargaining chip in diplomatic negotiations, most notably in the secret negotiations that led to the so-called Abrahamic Agreement that normalized relations between Israel and one country. number of historical Arab opponents.

Since the NSO first sold Pegasus to the Mexican government more than a decade ago, the spyware has been used by dozens of countries to track criminals, terrorists and drug dealers.

Last November, the Biden administration put NSO and another Israeli cyber-affirmation on a “blacklist” of companies banned from doing business with US companies. The Commerce Department said the companies’ tools “have enabled foreign governments to conduct transnational repression, which is how authoritarian governments target dissidents, journalists and politicians.” operate beyond their sovereign borders to silence dissent.”
