Former British PM Boris Johnson has alleged that a bugging device was found in his personal bathroom at the Foreign Office following a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2017.
The claim is made in Johnson’s upcoming memoir, Unleashed, excerpts of which have been shared ahead of the book’s release.
According to Johnson, Netanyahu, during his visit to the Foreign Office, excused himself to use Johnson’s private bathroom. After the meeting, Johnson’s security team discovered a listening device during a routine sweep of the facilities.
While Johnson acknowledged that it could have been a coincidence, he hinted at a connection between Netanyahu’s visit and the discovery of the bugging equipment.— Agencies
