Former Polish governments used Israeli software to spy on opposition, says PM

The previous Polish government used Israeli spyware to target opposition politicians and members of the judicial system, the country's prime minister said on Monday in a televised address. Donald Tusk said a two-year parliamentary investigation had found that the previous nationalist-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) governing party allowed Israel access to data collected using Pegasus spyware. The PiS governments paid $7.65m for the system and used it to surveil opposition politicians as well as members of the legal system who were critical of the ruling administration.
