Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called on leaders of the Blue and White list "to show responsibility, to get together, to act stately and to leave the Mossad and the Shin Bet [intelligence agencies], the rocks of Israel's security, out of politics. We have enough to fight over, not these wonderful bodies."

Speaking at the start of his meeting with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Netanyahu was responding to a report by Channel 12 Television that Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz had demanded that the Shin Bet security service investigate whether the Mossad intelligence agency had leaked the Iranians' break-in of his mobile phone to the media.
