'Blood libel like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion'

A senior Israeli official on Thursday rejected a report in Politico saying that Israel is behind the placing of eavesdropping equipment on cellphones in the White House area.

"This is a blood libel in the style of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the official told Kan 11 News. Like the Prime Minister, the official vehemently denied that Israel was spying on the Americans.
