British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a startling accusation against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that he had bugged his bathroom during a visit to Israel. Johnson made the claim during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which was leaked to the media.
According to reports, Johnson joked with Zelensky about the alleged surveillance, saying that Netanyahu had bugged his bathroom in an attempt to eavesdrop on their conversation. The claim has caused a stir in diplomatic circles, with many questioning the veracity of Johnson’s accusation.
Netanyahu has yet to respond to Johnson’s claim, and it is unclear whether any evidence exists to support the allegation. The Israeli government has denied any involvement in the alleged incident.
The leaked phone call comes at a sensitive time for Johnson, who is facing criticism over his handling of various domestic and international issues. Some critics have accused him of using the alleged bugging incident as a distraction from his government’s problems.
The British Prime Minister’s office has not commented on the leaked phone call, but Johnson is expected to address the issue publicly in the coming days. It is likely that the diplomatic fallout from his accusation against Netanyahu will continue to reverberate in the weeks to come.
The relationship between the UK and Israel has been historically strong, but Johnson’s claim could strain ties between the two countries. It remains to be seen how Netanyahu and the Israeli government will respond to the allegation, and whether any further evidence will emerge to support Johnson’s claim.
