Tyvärr ser det ut som om politikerna inför valet i Israel satsar mer på att svartmåla varandra än att komma med tankar om hur Israel skall se ut i framtiden.
Den senaste skandalen gäller utmanaren Benny Gantz, hans telefon lär ska ha hackats av Iran.
Men det finns frågor: Har den hackats? Är det i så fall verkligen Iran som hackat telefonen eller är det möjligen Netanyahus medhjälpare? Vem läckte informationen just nu inför valet att telefonen hackats? På frågan varför kan man anta att det var för att minska Gantz chanser i valet.
Likud säger nu i en kampanjvideo att Iran öppet stöder Gantz och Lapids Blå-Vita parti i parlamentsvalet.
De Blåvita har inte gett något entydigt svar på journalisternas frågor.
Ur vårt nordiska perspektiv kör man verkligen ett fult spel.
The curious, potentially election-shaping case of Gantz and the Iran phone hack (The Times of Israel)
Something very strange is going on in the run-up to Israel’s election.
On Thursday night, shortly before rocket fire on Tel Aviv from Gaza remade the news agenda for the next few hours, Channel 12 opened its main broadcast with the sensational report that Iran had hacked the cellphone of Benny Gantz, the ex-IDF chief of staff whose Blue and White party is polling slightly ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud....
...But the phone might well be the story. It is a story that has the potential to deeply impact what is proving to be a bitterly fought election campaign — a campaign in which Gantz has been leading the most robust challenge to Netanyahu in years. And, as of this writing, it is a story full of puzzling elements, unanswered questions, and an ineffectual response by Blue and White. ...
...For a start, is the story true? Was Gantz’s phone hacked, and if so, was it hacked by Iran?
Gantz’s No. 2, Yair Lapid, appeared to acknowledge, in a Channel 12 interview on Saturday night, that the hacking took place, and that Gantz told his party leadership colleagues about it after the Shin Bet approached him with the news. Lapid also appeared to acknowledge that Iran was responsible, but said this was unremarkable. Iranian hacking efforts are relentless, he noted. And Gantz, who Lapid pointed out has taken all necessary security precautions throughout a life in the military, “of course” had nothing of sensitivity on his phone.
Gantz’s No. 3, Moshe Ya’alon, by contrast, stated flatly on Channel 13 on Friday night that Iran was not behind the hack.
Confused? We all are.
