Elkin: No government involvement in alleged NSO-WhatsApp hack

None

The government denies any involvement in an alleged cyber-hack by Israeli surveillance firm NSO Group, a minister in the security cabinet says.

 

Jerusalem Affairs Minister Ze'ev Elkin says that if anyone had done anything "forbidden" they could expect to find themselves in court.

 

"NSO is a private player using capabilities that Israelis have, thousands of people are in the cyber field, but there is no Israeli government involvement here, everyone understands that, this is not about the State of Israel," Elkin tells 102.FM Tel Aviv Radio.
