    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But on Monday, the Audiencia Nacional, Spain’s top criminal court, said Calama had decided to provisionally close the case “due to the complete lack of legal cooperation from Israel, which has not responded to the rogatory commission … and has prevented the investigation from going ahead”.

    But the Israeli government had not answered the request for assistance, which had been sent four times, meaning “it probably never would”, the court said in a statement, indicating the only remaining option was diplomacy.

    “All that remains is a possible diplomatic channel capable of promoting compliance with the obligations derived from international treaties,” it said.

    Spain’s government has blamed it on “an external attack” while the Spanish press has pointed the finger at Morocco, given the diplomatic crisis between the two countries at the time.

    The Guardian and El País first reported in June 2020 that the speaker of the Catalan regional parliament, Roger Torrent, and at least two other pro-independence supporters had been alerted that they had been targeted in what at the time was called a “possible case of domestic political espionage”.

    Dozens more cases were later identified in April 2022, when researchers at the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto’s Munk school published a report saying the phones of at least 65 Catalan separatists had been targeted using Pegasus after the failed 2017 independence bid.

      A summary beginning with “but”… I have the feeling something is missing :-)

        Yea, there’s some room for improvement. In a different post it entirely skipped the introduction of the interviewee and also suddenly started talking about his wife, as if it had talked about her before.
