Not from the Onion : Unlike the #Pegasus case in #Spain, in #France, the French government held formal talks with #Israel.

In fact, the then Israeli foreign minister, #Lapid, visited France at the end of 2021.

In addition, #Paris asked #TelAviv to exclude phones with a French code from the numbers susceptible to being hacked by the program of the Israeli company #NSO Group.

In this sense, France keeps the investigation of the cases of espionage with Pegasus open, while in Spain the case has been closed due to lack of "cooperation" from Israel.

In the case of Spain, no Israeli official has visited the country.

The #Moroccan journalist exiled in Spain, Ali Lmrabet, commented that #Madrid "did not protest as France did, because it does not want to disturb Morocco in any way."
