Title is misleading. The vans are manufactured by an Israeli company and bought by US government entities, not vans affiliated with the nation state of Israel.

You think Israeli companies (or those of any other country, for that matter) can sell spy tech abroad without their government's signoff?
That's not the point. The point is that the title makes it seem like the Israeli's government is spying on you, while what the article really says is that US is buying Israel's tech to spy on its own citizens.

The title misrepresents the article claims.

So, the US government is buying Israeli spyware to spy on US citizens for when they speak out about Israeli control of the US government.
That's your conjecture, the article does not make such claims.
