Haaretz quotes the CEO of the Israeli company NSO, which has been blacklisted by the US government, as saying that the issue is more of a political issue than a commercial or security one, and most importantly, the depth of corruption is in the structure of Israeli power.
According to the Hebrew-language media, the president of the company puts a lot of pressure on the Israeli cabinet to help the company get off the US blacklist, and he has threatened to release information that would cause Israeli politicians to fail.
NSO made huge profits through its espionage programs, which it sold to a number of countries, including a number of wealthy Arab countries, but after the revelation of the spying program of the company called “Pegasus”, which spied on the cell phones of thousands of government officials and journalists, it suffered a severe collapse.
According to the Hebrew-language media, after this threat, high-ranking Israeli officials have promised to make efforts to remove the sanctions imposed on the company in the United States, and at the same time will promise the American side that the company’s activities, including how take more control of the use and sale of the Pegasus app.

NSO has signed contracts worth $ 100 million to sell spy programs that have been legitimized by Israel and the regime’s Ministry of War.
According to the Hebrew-language media, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the first to use the Pegasus program, and by selling it to dictatorial countries and not questioning its performance, he was able to normalize relations with it.
According to Haaretz, Pegasus became a major factor in the development of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, the Maghreb, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and several other countries.
