Jerusalem:
The CEO-designate of NSO Group has resigned citing the Israeli spyware company's blacklisting by the US Commerce Department last week, Israeli media said on Thursday.
NSO Group declined to comment.
Isaac Benbenisti, an NSO Group co-president, was named for the top role on October 31, but had yet to assume it.
Some Israeli media incorrectly described him as already serving as CEO.

Jerusalem:
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and senior aides holed up in a war bunker on Thursday during an exercise simulating an outbreak of a lethal new COVID-19 variant.
He described the day-long "Omega Drill", named after a fictitious virus strain, as a precaution to ensure Israel was prepared for "any scenario".
The nuclear blast-proof complex in the Jerusalem hills, known as the "National Management Centre", was also used to coordinate initial responses to the new coronavirus in March 2020.
Israel imposed lockdowns to try to tame three waves of COVID-19 but has kept the economy and schools open since a fourth wave hit in June, relying on measures including vaccinations, booster shots and protective masks.
The drill involves civilian and military leaders being subjected to mass testing, hospital admissions and curfews, Bennett's office said in a statement. Findings from the exercise will be shared with foreign partners.
"Israel is safe and protected. In order to maintain this, and to safeguard the continuity of normal life, we must continue to closely monitor the situation and prepare for any scenario," the statement quoted him as saying.
The statement said nothing to indicate the government believed a lethal new coronavirus strain was imminent.
It also did not mention any potential flare-up in fighting with enemies among the scenarios for the drill.
The bunker was built more than a decade ago because of concern about Iran's nuclear programme and missile exchanges with Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

Johannesburg:
The four young sons of a South African Indian-origin businessman have been safely returned to their parents after they were abducted on their way to school three weeks ago by armed gunmen.
Police confirmed that Zidan (who turned 7 on Saturday while in captivity), Zayyad, 11, Alaan, 13, and Zia, 15 , the sons of businessman Nazim Moti, who is based in Polokwane, were found unharmed and in good spirits on Wednesday evening.
The boys were abducted by seven armed men wearing white overalls in two vehicles that blocked the car they were travelling in on their way to school on October 21. The driver was left unharmed.
Police spokesman Vish Naidoo said police received a call from residents of Tshwane in Pretoria, who said the four children arrived at their house, saying that they were dropped off at a road nearby.
The children were first medically examined before being handed over to their ecstatic parents.
“The doctor said they were in good health and our observation when they were handed back to their parents was that they were in very high spirits,” Naidoo said, adding that a team of forensic and clinical psychologists would visit the family on Thursday to interview the boys to see what information they could provide.
Naidoo said they did not want to exhaust the children too much after their ordeal.
“The important thing now is to see what information we can get from them to help us in tracing and successfully arresting those that were responsible for this kidnapping,” Naidoo said.
Naidoo dismissed suggestions that the police had been unable to make headway in the case as people across the country prayed for the safe return of the boys.
“We have not spoken about this as in all kidnapping cases, because we believe that speaking about it publicly had the potential of placing the lives of the children to greater risk,” Naidoo said.
“A lot of work has been done already and whether the release was a result of (the police) closing the net on the kidnappers or not is still to be determined, but there was a multi-disciplinary integrated team put into place from the time that the report was made to us that the children were kidnapped. A large team of specialised police officers countrywide had been deployed to investigate the case," he said.
No information was available on whether any ransom was paid for the release of the children.
Earlier Martin Ewi, a senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies and an expert on organised crime in Africa, said he believed that a ransom was involved.
''When children are abducted, it's usually children of rich families. Criminals will spot a child, notice that the family is wealthy and think Here is a chance to make some money,” Ewi told the Afrikaans news service Netwerk 24.

Malaysia To Reopen To International Visitors By January 1

Kuala Lumpur:
Malaysia will reopen its borders to international visitors by Jan. 1 at the latest, a government advisory council said on Thursday, as the country seeks to revive its ailing tourism sector.
The Southeast Asian country has gradually reopened its economy in recent weeks as coronavirus infection rates have slowed amid a ramped-up vaccination programme.
More than three-quarters of Malaysia's 32 million population are vaccinated, government statistics show.
Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who chairs a council tasked with spearheading Malaysia's economic recovery programme, told reporters the tourism industry was recovering too slowly without foreigners and noted that operators needed time to resume businesses.
Muhyiddin, however, said infection control measures such as COVID-19 tests will remain in place, with authorities to determine entry based on the COVID-19 situation in originating countries, and other factors.
He did not state when a firm date for reopening will be announced, but said the decision was still being detailed by health and security agencies.
Malaysia this week announced it would launch a vaccinated travel lane with neighbouring Singapore on Nov. 29, allowing quarantine-free travel for inoculated people between both countries.
It has also agreed with Indonesia to introduce a similar travel corridor on a gradual basis.
