An Israeli firm helped Saudi Arabia spy on journalist Jamal Khashoggi

In the hacked messages, Khashoggi called the crown prince "a beast" with an endless appetite for victims.
- A lawsuit filed on Sunday in Tel Aviv on behalf of a Saudi Arabian activist living in Canada aims to hold an Israeli software company with government ties accountable for the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
- The lawsuit claims that by selling its Pegasus software to oppressive governments, NSO Group is breaking international laws.
- A U.S. intelligence report released in November indicated that the operation would have been impossible without the crown prince’s direct knowledge, but President Donald Trump dismissed the report, saying he believes MBS’s version of the events.
- Of those employees, several work outside Israel in countries such as Lebanon, France, India, Mongolia, Brazil, Malawi, and Malta.
- While he has maintained his steadfast support for MBS — even discounting his own intelligence community’s assessment of the prince’s involvement in Khashoggi’s murder, President Trump seems to have kept a low profile throughout the event.
