PM Netanyahu denies allegations that Israel planted surveillance devices near the White House.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied his country spies within the U.S. afterthat the U.S. government concluded Israel was most likely behind surveillance devices planted near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington, D.C.
The allegations could potentially rock what is a key diplomatic relationship for both the U.S. and Israel, days ahead of a close Israeli general election in which Netanyahu is fighting for his political life. The prime minister was en route Thursday to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin before Israelis head to the polls on Sept. 17.
Politico reported that three unnamed senior U.S. officials familiar with the matter said the U.S. government had concluded within the last two years that Israel was most likely behind the placement of the devices. The website reported that it was unclear whether the efforts were successful.
