Morocco Linked to Israeli Spyware Targets
International investigations reveal that Morocco used Israeli spyware programs, particularly "Pegasus," to monitor officials in France and Spain, in addition to targeting journalists and human rights activists within Morocco. Morocco began using these technologies before establishing official relations with Israel, purchasing advanced surveillance systems from Israel and having Israeli experts involved in their installation. The investigation also uncovered Morocco's cooperation with other Israeli espionage companies and its use of phone surveillance tools, including the "Circles" system, since 2017, as well as tools from other firms such as Cytelligence and Night Hawk. The documents claim that Morocco targeted political and media figures, and that the use of these programs has led to diplomatic tensions with France and Spain, both of which are also investigating espionage activities. Evidence also shows that Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco have made deals worth millions of dollars to purchase monitoring and phone hacking systems.
