The Israeli government is lobbying the Biden administration to get sanctions on the NSO Group removed. The push comes amid calls for a deeper investigation into how the company’s hacking technology ended up on the phones of Palestinian activists.

Six Palestinian human rights activists were targeted by spyware from the Israeli surveillance company NSO Group, a new report revealed on Monday, in the first reported instance of Palestinian activists being targeted by the surveillance company. The six activists are all members of the six Palestinian civil society organizations recently branded “terrorist organizations” by Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
