The genie might be out of the bottle here for them. A lot of investigative journalism now coming out (1) which shows that Pegasus is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Israeli spyware.

Naftali Bennett‘s first real test.

Would he actually know or have a way to find out why Macron secrets are being traded to Pegasus clients, or even reign in the spyware industry at all?

Would the fragile coalition be able to handle this PM doing anything about it, or is this so far outside of their priority list that it doesn't matter and there is room for real reform?

They have an easy out: blame it on Bibi and promise change.

That's a very questionable source. With such an overtly anti-Israel position, that's probably best taken with a large pinch of salt.

It's also a fair out.

I don’t think this would pass muster as an excuse if Israeli industry had been selling missiles to Morocco for use against France.

Curious to see if it ends up being treated the same.
