It does make the news, we also have laws about satellite imagery and Israel and it's a pretty well-known fact the US shares intelligence with Israel which everyone always injects in any conversation about Gaza. They also have their own Ofeq and EROS series, so they're not in complete darkness regardless.
It's also irrelevant to this conversation, as Israel is an actual ally, while Russia/China are not, so I really don't understand why you would bring this up in this conversation other than to muddy the waters with whatboutism.

Also, Good thing neither Russian or Chinese agencies/companies have any capacity whatsoever to secretly buy this data through indirect means from all the rest of the world's sources that it can still be sold to. Not a chance of that loophole forming.
