If Gantz Can’t Protect His Phone, How Will He Protect ‘Israel’? – Netanyahu

By Staff, Agencies

The hacking of Blue and White leader Benny Gantz’s is a personal failure on his part, Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday night.

During a Likud event in occupied al-Quds, Netanyahu touted the Zionist entity’s advances in cybersecurity, when someone shouted from the crowd: “Ask Benny Gantz!”

“Since you brought it up,” Netanyahu said, “I strongly condemn the wild attacks by [Blue and White co-leaders Yair] Lapid and Gantz against the Mossad, Shin Bet and myself.”

“We are protecting ‘Israel’s’ security,” he claimed.

Netanyahu’s comments come following reports alleging that Gantz’s phone had been hacked by Iran. The Shin Bet reportedly informed Gantz of the security breach. Blue and White’s top candidates blamed Netanyahu – some for the hack itself and some for the leak to the media – but the prime minister denied that he knew about it before the media reports.

He called the hack “ironic,” pointing out that Gantz was chairman of a cybersecurity company that went bankrupt.

He was supposed to protect his phone. That is his personal failure. If Gantz can’t protect his phone, how will he protect ‘Israel’? Netanyahu asked.
