Israeli app used by Arabs prompts Zeewy concerns

The article explains that the "Weiz" application, used by approximately 180 million people worldwide and with around 500,000 users in the Arab region, is of Israeli origin. It was founded in 2006 by developers who were previously part of the Israeli military cyber unit 8200. Although Google acquired it in 2013, the app's servers are still located in Israel and governed by its laws, raising security and international concerns. This issue became more prominent after Malaysia decided to ban its use by government employees due to potential security risks. Reports have confirmed that the app's founders previously worked for the Israeli occupation army, and the data collected by the application is processed on Israeli servers. This has sparked worries among relevant authorities about possible espionage or security abuses, especially amid concerns linking the app to Israeli security agencies and its capacity to access users' sensitive information.
