Are they exploiting zero days to somehow force the phone to install an app unbeknownst to the user? Are they physically stealing the phone while the user is unaware, installing software, and then returning the phone?
I don't even know how spyware ends up installed on a modern phone without the users knowledge.
These facts are not at all surprising or unexpected, as this has been the MO of Israel forever, and also, as another poster has already mentioned, this has also always been the MO of USA in the relationships with its "allies".
Only the legislators who support in Congress the proposal for integration feign being not aware that the interests of USA do not really align with those of another country enough to justify such a military integration.
Considering how many politicians/members of congress are 1) have dual citizenship in Isreal or 2) Receive large amounts of money from AIPAC, we should not ascribe these actions to lack of awareness.
And BTW, the delusion:
> key ally.
LOL.
Isreal is a key ally, for all the politicians that have a dual citizenship in Isreal and/or receive large contributions from AIPAC
