A new government commission finds out how the case of corrupt Netanyahu was investigated and not only.
An Israeli government commission will begin investigating whether the police actually used spyware in the case against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The establishment of the commission was approved at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
She will study programs for hacking personal devices, including products of the NSO Group company. The study will focus not only on Netanyahu's case, but also on cyberspying by law enforcement agencies in general.
Before the Cabinet vote, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara expressed concerns about the possible consequences of such a project. According to her, the commission's actions may lead to publicity of the methods of intelligence gathering used by the Israeli security services.
These developments have increased tensions between the country's political and judicial systems. Discussions have emerged about the role of the judiciary and its independence in Israel.
The criminal case against Netanyahu, who is accused of corruption and fraud, began in 2020. The trial is likely to continue for several more years if the Prime Minister does not admit his guilt.
About two years ago, NSO Group was blacklisted in the United States because it was exploited by foreign governments to spy on opposition figures, human rights activists and journalists using its Pegasus software.
The Israeli press has repeatedly reported that the police use NSO Group programs for their own purposes. According to reports, police officers hacked citizens ' phones without a court order. Important witnesses in the Netanyahu case also faced this issue.
Yariv Levin, the Minister of Justice, said that the commission will develop legal recommendations on how to use advanced technologies in criminal cases. He also expressed the hope that public confidence in the police will gradually recover after the accusations made by the press.
NSO Group declined to comment on the creation of the commission. The Israeli police also gave no official comment on the matter.
