It’s advantageous for the US to export its most unethical surveillance and technology operations to Israeli private tech firms & the Mossad, which operate in paranoid fear that if they ever stopped, the US would withdraw its support and they would be killed immediately by the surrounding states
Which, by the way, the US fuels that paranoia intentionally.
The Israeli tech firms are overrepresented in security but are overrepresented in everything, really - Israel has a very productive tech economy across the board. The reason you don't hear much about it is that the culture is to sell the firm to an American giant rather than to become a unicorn.
Unethical surveillance exports like NSO are mostly used to target domestic dissidents in sundry countries without much US alliance system direction. For example, in Mexico, the government used NSO to target journalists and activists as late as 2021, under AMLO. www.theguardian.com/world/2022/o...
