Summary
Five years after the Pegasus spyware scandal erupted, new revelations show Israeli NSO reps demoing the tool in Morocco in 2017—before ties normalized—showing how it hijacks devices. A former Moroccan secret service insider now confirms Pegasus was just one of many surveillance tools, including physical taps and hidden cameras used against a royal critic. This unfolds as France’s PM visits Morocco, heightening diplomatic tension amid past French official targeting. Meanwhile, over a hundred House Democrats—including Republicans—back an amendment to cut U.S. military aid to Israel, signaling a growing rift over values and interests. On the sports front, Argentina’s World Cup miracle stirs global celebration, though a disputed Falklands banner may trigger sanctions, while England’s fans grieve another heartbreak in the semi-final.
