Yoram Cohen: Netanyahu had asked me to eavesdrop on high-ranking officials' conversations in a security meeting

Yoram Cohen said Netanyahu had asked him to eavesdrop on the conversations of high-ranking officials during a security meeting.

Yoram Cohen, the former head of Israel’s internal security service, known as Shin Bet, says that Benjamin Netanyahu, the country’s Prime Minister, had asked him to eavesdrop on the conversations of ministers and senior officers related to an important security meeting.

The Jerusalem Post reported that these allegations are related to an event in 2018 and it is said to be connected to Benny Gantz, the then Chief of General Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and a member of the Knesset.

Mr. Cohen explained that Netanyahu’s request to eavesdrop on officials was not seen as illegal eavesdropping but rather as using surveillance tools to monitor those who have access to confidential information.

He also mentioned that conspiracy theories form when, according to him, a lack of public awareness combines with thought engineering. Cohen linked this issue to the events of October 7, 2023, and emphasized that people close to Netanyahu are actively shaping a narrative that places the blame for that day’s failure entirely on the military.
