“US counterintelligence officials reportedly say Israel probably planted surveillance devices near the White House; Israeli government issues strong denial”
Israel is well-known by American security agencies for the most aggressive spying that they face.
In the past I've read some almost laughable stories about their activities.
Such as one about an Israeli spy crawling through ductwork in a Washington office building to arrive at a point over someone's desk where he could photograph documents.
So, I think it's extremely likely Israel planted surveillance devices near the White House, as charged.
Denials from that country literally mean nothing.
Netanyahu is a pathological liar. We know that on the highest authority, from an open-mic incident between Presidents Sarkozy and Obama some years back. They agreed you could trust nothing the man said.
