Pakistan projects itself in opposition of Israel as it has never recognised it as a sovereign nation, and it does not keep any bilateral relations with the country. But, behind the curtains, the story is all together a different one.
Pakistan secretly enjoys friendly relations with Netanyahu govt
Pakistan enjoys secret friendly relations with Israel. It has not only maintained its relations, but also spying against its own people with the help of Israel.
The Pakistani government is using Israeli spyware and it is using it against its people in Balochistan. The government is monitoring the movement of Baloch people with the help of spyware, Amnesty International has revealed in its report.
‘Israeli spyware is being used in Pak’
Amnesty International says in its report that spyware developed by an Israeli company is being actively used by Pakistan. Amnesty says in its report named, ‘Intellexa Leaks’ in which a story of a lawyer in Balochistan was narrated. According to a report, the lawyer received a mysterious link on his Whatsapp from an anonymous number, and later he contacted Amnesty International.
The Amnesty security lab checked the link and on the basis of technical behaviour of the infection server identified it as a predator attack. Predator has been developed by Israeli company, Intellexa which is a very aggressive spyware. Amnesty International said in its report that the investigation of the link is based on sensitive documents and other elements. The internal document contained sales and marketing materials and training video.
Report was published collectively
The investigation took place for months and the report was published collectively by inside story in Greece, Haaretz in Israel and WAV in Switzerland. Google had started sending notifications to hundreds of its users in Pakistan and several other nations of spyware threat.
On the other hand, Pakistan has rejected the reports published by Amnesty International. On the condition of anonymity, a senior intelligence officer told Dawn that the attempt was to malign the image of Pakistan, and he stressed that there was no truth in the story.
