Israel wants a “closer relationship” with Australia’s defense. It already has a very close relationship unbeknown to many nations that have purchased Pegasus spyware. Mossad operates freely amongst friends and enemies alike assassinating, kidnapping spying and influencing everyone in it’s favour and shares very little of it’s own secrets. Mainstream medias are very much propagandist for Israel. Murdoch media has always promoted positive news about the nation. After all Murdoch is heavily invested in Genie Oil in the occupied Syrian territories of the Golan Heights.

It also threatens to increase pressure on the Israel-based NSO Group, which in November was placed on a U.S. trade blacklist.
