Sa’ar, Barlev call for state inquiry into police Pegasus tempest
Though the cabinet was ostensibly meeting to choose a new attorney general, ministers also spent much of the time talking up their brand-new commission of inquiry into reports that police spied on dozens of public officials, activists and citizens using NSO Group’s Pegasus hacking tech.
Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar says a state commission of inquiry should be established into the scandal.
Police minister Omer Barlev, who just hours earlier announced the creation of a government commission to explore the claims, says he agrees with Sa’ar on the need for a state inquiry.
