One big mistake in the article: ExpressVPN is in no sense a "US company". It is officially headquartered in the British Virgin Islands, but its operations are run by Chengbao Limited in Hong Kong, which was incorporated in Hong Kong in 2008 https://crhk.guru/company/chengbao-limited-1251650

Kape is also the parent company of Cyberghost:

And Zenmate, and PIA...

Wow. Impressive portfolio. Is there anything to be concerned since Kape is Israeli? Ties to Mossad?

First, don't trust any commercial VPN.

The majority shareholder of Kape is Teddy Sagi. The Wikipedia article about him is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Sagi. YMMV.
