Israel accused of planting mysterious spy devices near the White House, Politico Reports
Former officials said the devices were designed to spy on President Donald Trump and his senior aides and associates. They added that it was unclear whether Israel had actually obtained any information.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denied the report and called it “a total lie. There is a long-standing commitment and a sweeping directive from the Israeli government not to engage in US intelligence activity. This guideline is completely implemented without exception. ”
On his way to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Netanyahu also addressed this in his voice, upon landing. “False and false, absolute vanity. I have a clear directive – no US intelligence collections – and this directive is fully enforced.” A senior Israeli security official added that “anyone who makes such a claim is absolutely crazy.”
