US military contractor moves to buy Israeli spy-tech company NSO Group
US security technology provider L3Harris has courted controversial Israeli spyware firm NSO with an aim to buy it, according to reports.claims L3Harris in recent months sent a team to Israel to try to smooth passage of the deal, which was made challenging by US president Joe Biden's decision to blacklist NSO following the use of its Pegasus software to crack phones of politicians and campaigners.
The L3Harris executives delivered a message that the US government offers tacit support of its acquisition bid, although public statements were unlikely,The claims run counter to statements from US officials who were said to be outraged to learn about the negotiations for an American company to purchase a blacklisted spy-tech vendor.
Later, L3Harris told officials it planned to end its attempt to buy the company while conflicting accounts said it hoped to restart them.says that the US military contractor hired lawyer Daniel Reisner, who once worked for Israeli Military Prosecutor's Office to advise on the deal.
