An analytical report published on August 3, 2026 alleges that Israel has become an important ally of governments and political forces with authoritarian tendencies through advanced surveillance technology, spyware and election-related influence operations. It says Israel is expanding its strategic influence internationally through a combination of state diplomacy, cyber technology and private surveillance companies.
According to the report, NSO Group’s Pegasus software has been used by governments in multiple countries, with allegations of surveillance targeting journalists, human rights activists, opposition politicians and people in allied countries. An investigative report also claimed that NSO co-founder Shalev Hulio visited Panama in 2013 using an Israeli diplomatic passport and had directly helped secure a 2012 Pegasus sales agreement with the Panamanian government. Analysts cited in the report said such firms may serve Israeli strategic interests beyond commercial activity.
The report further alleges Israeli firms were involved in misinformation, bot networks and opinion-shaping activities in Scotland, France, Colombia and Honduras. It highlights alleged political activity in Latin America and raises the possibility of online campaigning and cyber strategies ahead of Brazil’s upcoming election. No formal response from the Israeli government or the companies concerned was included.
