Bugging device found in my bathroom after Netanyahu used it, claims Boris Johnson

Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson has claimed a listening device was found in his bathroom at the Foreign Office after it had been used by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mr Johnson alleged that when the Israeli Prime Minister visited his department in 2017, his security team found bugging devices in the toilets after he had used the facilities, the e-UK PM wrote in his book, Unleashed.

During their meeting in his old office, Johnson said  Netanyahu, who he calls Bibi, excused himself to go to the bathroom, which Mr Johnson describes as similar to “the gents in a posh London club” which exist within a “secret annexe”.

Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox.”

It is not clear whether Israel was questioned or rebuked over the incident.

It is to be noted that in a similar time, Israel was accused of planting listening devices in the White House.

According to US officials, Washington concluded that Israel was likely behind the placement of cellphone surveillance devices that were found near the White House and other sensitive locations around the capital.
