Paragon Solutions was originally an Israeli spyware company. Its product is called Graphite.
PS was bought by an American company but still retains its Israeli management, from what I gather.

From Deep Mind AI:
Graphite gained attention in the spyware market after NSO Group was blacklisted by the U.S. government for its use of Pegasus software against journalists and activists.

But Graphite software, which under Bidend faced scrutiny, probably won't under trump.
Paragon Solutions was established in 2019 and is reported to have some level of U.S. government approval.

I suspect that any spyware we buy coming out of Israel, we buy because Israel's spyware, of necessity, is superior to what US firms produce; or we use it as the alternative, or as cover, so that our own parallel spyware use isn't detected and therefore known about.
