Secretary of State Mike Pompeo should summon Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer over Israel’s alleged surveillance of the White House.
The United States is confident that Israel is responsible for a number of “StingRay” tower-like surveillance devices that were found near the White House in 2018, as Politico‘s Daniel Lippman reports on Thursday. StingRays trick cell phones and other devices into a connection under the software’s expectation that it is actually connecting with a legitimate cell phone tower. This allows the StingRay to steal location, usage, and content data.
