This software, typically used to track political dissidents, was deployed within Saudi Arabia to spy on those closest to the Crown Prince\u2014a move that underscores his deep distrust of even his inner circle within the ruling family.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6082\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6082 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pegasus-software.jpg\" alt=\"Saudi espionage scandal\" width=\"768\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pegasus-software.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pegasus-software-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pegasus-software-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pegasus-software-450x251.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pegasus software<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Saudi opposition activists, including Omar Al-Zahrani, confirmed that bin Salman did not stop at espionage but also resorted to persecuting and arresting some of his rivals, particularly members of the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz\u2019s family. These actions are part of his ongoing efforts to consolidate absolute power within the kingdom and silence any opposition to his rule or ambitions for the throne.<\/p>\n<p>The Pegasus spyware, which bin Salman used to track his adversaries, was not merely a tool for internal repression; it also played a key role in international affairs, including the assassination of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the kingdom\u2019s consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Reports confirmed that the Saudi regime used this tool to track Khashoggi before his brutal murder, proving its willingness to employ any means necessary to secure its grip on power.<\/p>\n<p>The issue extended beyond Saudi figures, affecting high-profile international figures as well. Among the victims of these espionage operations was American businessman Jeff Bezos, owner of The Washington Post, whose phone was hacked, leading to the leak of private information that sparked widespread controversy in media and political circles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5306\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5306 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"Mohammed bin Salman,\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress-450x315.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-curse-of-Khashoggis-blood-haunts-Mohammed-bin-Salman-and-this-is-what-happened-in-Congress.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jamal Khashoggi surveillance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This scandal is not the first of its kind, but it once again highlights the depth of ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
