The expansive and experimental effort is being used to conduct mass surveillance there, collecting and cataloging the faces of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, according to Israeli intelligence officers, military officials and soldiers.
The technology was initially used in Gaza to search for Israelis who were taken hostage by Hamas during the Oct. 7 cross-border raids, the intelligence officials said.

There is little complaint from western politicians. Corsight’s complicity isn’t seen as an urgent matter.
Nor, for that matter, do most of these politicians give sufficient attention to Israel’s genocidal policies in Gaza.
Unmentioned by the Times is that Giora Eiland, a retired Israeli major general, serves on the board of directors of Corsight.
When Eiland joined the board in January 2021, Igal Raichelgauz, chairman and founder of the Cortica Group, stated, “We are excited to add Giora to the company board, we believe that due to his extensive experience in the national security field, Corsight will continue growing into new markets and territories and lead the face recognition market in Israel and in the world.” Corsight is a subsidiary of Cortica, a firm focused on artificial intelligence.
Eiland is a proponent of the ethnic cleansing of the occupied territory of Gaza.

Well into the second year of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU, most of the G7 countries, and Australia have cracked down on their imports of Russian crude oil and oil products. At the same time, these countries, which are all part of the price-cap coalition whose objective is to limit Russia’s revenues from fossil fuel exports, have increased imports of refined oil products by leaps and bounds from the countries that have become the largest importers of Russian crude oil.
Europe has boosted imports of refined petroleum products from countries that have raised imports of Russian crude oil, as a major loophole in the sanctions risks undermining the effectiveness of the price cap and embargoes, a report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) showed on Wednesday.
The EU, Australia, and most of the G7 countries have banned direct imports of Russian crude oil, but they have raised indirectly imports of Russian oil by purchasing higher volumes of oil products from countries that have become the biggest buyer of Russia’s crude, the Finland-based center said.
Israel‘s offensive cyber industry accounts for a wide variety of surveillance and espionage technologies. A number of these are tools sold to policing bodies which reveal the geographic location of a target. There are also more advanced technologies, sold to law enforcement and intelligence bodies, which allow clients to hack into computers, mobile phones and encrypted messaging apps, extracting all information stored on a device and secretly turning on its microphone and camera to create a tool which spies on its owner.
Auch mit Deutschland soll es zumindest Gespräche gegeben haben, geht aus den Haaretz vorliegenden Dokumenten hervor. Neben den USA und Australien soll es zudem Kontakt mit Singapur gegeben haben, einem nicht-demokratischen Staat. Ob die Länder tatsächlich Produkte von Toka einsetzen, ist nicht bekannt.

“Today, our Congressional delegation travels to the Indo-Pacific to reaffirm America’s strong and unshakeable commitment to our allies and friends in the region,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “In Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan, our delegation will hold high-level meetings to discuss how we can further advance our shared interests and values, including peace and security, economic growth and trade, the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, human rights and democratic governance. Under the strong leadership of President Biden, America is firmly committed to smart, strategic engagement in the region, understanding that a free and flourishing Indo-Pacific is crucial to prosperity in our nation and around the globe.”
Speaker Pelosi continued, “After a fuel stop in Hawaii, we were honored with a briefing from USINDOPACOM Leadership, as well as a visit to the Pearl Harbor Memorial and the USS Arizona.
Pelosi on Sunday set off for the Indo-Pacific, where she is leading a delegation of five Democratic lawmakers focused on “mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance” in the region, according to a news release from her office.
The delegation will visit Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan, according to the release.
„NSO Group and Candiru (Israel) were added to the Entity List based on evidence that these entities developed and supplied spyware to foreign governments,“ the statement read, adding that the spyware‘s tools were used „to maliciously target government officials, journalists, businesspeople, activists, academics, and embassy workers.“
Es gebe Beweise, dass diese Unternehmen „Spionagesoftware entwickelt und an ausländische Regierungen geliefert haben, die diese Tools zur böswilligen Überwachung von Regierungsbeamten, Journalisten, Geschäftsleuten, Aktivisten, Wissenschaftlern und Botschaftsmitarbeitern eingesetzt haben“.

Over the years, Lee has been vocal in calling for the US and China to avoid a clash that could force smaller nations to choose sides.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday warned the United States against aggressively challenging China, saying Washington‘s increasingly hard-line views could be „very dangerous.“
He said the United States had moved from an approach of healthy competition with China to the view that America „must win, one way or another.“
The US wants to form stronger partnerships in the region to counter China
“Secretary Austin’s visit will demonstrate the importance the Biden-Harris Administration places on Southeast Asia and on ASEAN as an essential part of the Indo-Pacific’s architecture,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations bloc.
The U.S. embassy in Hanoi said on Tuesday that Austin’s trip would start on July 23.
Bitte Abstand halten! In einem Park in Singapur patrouilliert ein Roboter, um Menschen ans Social Distancing in der Corona-Pandemie zu erinnern.
Alle Zeitungen gehören der „Singapore Press Holding“ mit engen Beziehungen zur Regierungspartei. Das wichtigste Blatt, die „Singapore Straight Times“, ist eine Mischung aus Lokalzeitung und „Neues Deutschland“. Radio und Fernsehen werden von einer staatlichen Investmentagentur betrieben und singen ebenfalls das Loblied der Regierung.
Und jetzt werden auch dem bisher schwer kontrollierbaren Internet die Daumenschrauben angelegt.
Singapore’s lone opposition party in parliament has said it will oppose a controversial fake news bill that has been criticized by rights groups, journalists and tech firms as a debate over the proposed legislation entered a second day on Wednesday.
Now ninety-seven academics from around the world with expertise in Singapore and Asia have signed a letter warning the proposed legislation „may deter scholarship and set precedents harmful to global academia.“
„We are concerned that the proposed legislation will have unintended detrimental consequences for scholars and research in Singapore,“ said the group, who included academics from Harvard and Yale, as well as institutions in Britain, Australia, and parts of Asia.
Nach den Ende Januar durch die US-Regierung verschärften Sanktionen, die zuvor noch Hauptabnehmer venezolanischen Erdöls waren, ist die Ausfuhr dorthin im März zum Erliegen gekommen. Dafür sind die Exporte in Richtung Asien nach wie vor konstant. Im März ging die größte Menge venezolanischen Erdöls nach Indien, China und Singapur. Der Anteil dieser drei Länder an der Gesamtmenge machte im März 74 Prozent aus. Exporte nach Europa fielen von 22 Prozent im Februar auf 17 Prozent. Auch nach Kuba wurden noch etwa 65.000 Barrel durch die PDVSA verschifft. Größte Einzelabnehmer waren nach Informationen von Reuters China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) und das russische Staatsunternehmen Rosneft.
Australia said it will legislate “tough” new laws to prevent social-media platforms from being “weaponized” by terrorists and extremists who may use them to live-stream violent crimes, such as this month’s terror attack in New Zealand. Singapore said it will introduce a law to halt the spread of “fake news.”
Yesterday‘s ministerial meeting coincided with a national remembrance service in New Zealand for the 50 people killed in the attack by a white supremacist at two mosques on March 15.
At a news conference after the meeting, Singapore‘s Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan said that new media and technologies had allowed for the promotion of hate speech and posed a threat to the „broad centre“ of society.
Präsident Moon Jae-in hat am Freitag seine Staatsbesuche in Indien und Singapur beendet.
U.S.-Verteidigungsminister James Mattis und sein südkoreanischer Amtskollege Jeong Kyeong Doo trafen diese Entscheidung während der Sicherheitskonferenz am 19.10.2018 in Singapur.
Chinese State Councilor and Minister of National Defense Wei Fenghe agreed with the United States Secretary of Defense James Mattis here Thursday to control risks and deepen mutual trust so as to make the relations between the two militaries a stabilizer for the China-U.S. relationship.
(30.8.2018) Investigative news outlet Vox cited „multiple sources familiar with the negotiations“ as saying Trump made the promise during his summit with Kim in Singapore in June.
The report said Trump made the promise and later qualified it by asking North Korea to dismantle most of its nuclear arsenal first.
The chair‘s statement from the ASEAN Regional Forum has not yet been released,… but many are keeping a close eye on whether it will reflect North Korea‘s statement, in which Ri said that to move forward, Washington must take a new approach to build confidence… and implement all the points of the joint statement in a balanced, simultaneuous and phased way. Pompeo was reportedly not in his seat during the remarks at the ARF because of his schedule. And though the much anticipated sitdown between him and Ri Yong-ho did not take place either,… the atmosphere did not seem hostile at all.
The U.S. is pressing the North to take concrete denuclearization steps, beyond a show of dismantling nuclear and missile testing sites in the absence of international experts.
The North says it has done a lot, and the Trump administration should reciprocate.
Dieses Abkommen sei ein durch den Weltsicherheitsrat überprüftes und anerkanntes multilaterales Abkommen und entspreche den gemeinsamen Interessen der betroffenen Parteien und der internationalen Gemeinschaft, deshalb solle es respektiert und gewahrt werden.
State-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday that North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho will make an official visit to Iran soon, after participating in Saturday‘s ASEAN Regional Forum meeting.
The news agency did not disclose further details about the upcoming visit of the North Korean political delegation to Iran.
Beide Seiten hätten sich trotz fehlender Fortschritte bei den Bemühungen um die komplette Denuklearisierung Nordkoreas auf eine enge Koordination ihres Vorgehens geeinigt, hieß es aus diplomatischen Kreisen.
