# Israel’s government says it will set up a commission of inquiry to investigate the Pegasus hacking software scandal. The country’s police have been accused of using the powerful Pegasus spyware made by the NSO Group to illegally spy on a long list of senior political figures, including some of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s inner circle. President Isaac Herzog says this matter requires an in-depth and thorough investigation. Meanwhile, the police commissioner, Kobi Shabtai, says any irregularities and failures should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
