israel started a pressure campaign on the french company thales group, which is one of the shareholder of telespazio. israel expressed its fear that high resolution imagery taken by göktürk-1 from its territory could eventually fall into the wrong hands. israel, which supplies some of the critical electro-optical parts of the satellite's high-technology camera system to thales group, stipulated that göktürk-1 should be made incapable of taking imagery as long as it is over israel.
