wild boris gets bugged by bibi in his private "office"....

A UK security team found a listening device in the personal lavatory of then-foreign secretary Boris Johnson back in 2017, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the facility, the former British politician has reportedly claimed in his memoir.

The incident allegedly occurred at the British Foreign Office, which, according to Johnson, has a bathroom similar to “the gents in a posh London club,”located in a “secret annex” used by the foreign secretary, as reported by The Telegraph on Thursday. Netanyahu was in the building on an official visit, and apparently made a toilet trip while there.

“Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox,” Johnson wrote.

The politician – who served as UK prime minister from 2019 to 2022 – declined to give the newspaper further details, saying that everything that can be made public is already in the memoir, titled Unleashed.

The Telegraph compared the episode to the discovery in 2018 of so-called IMSI-catchers, or StingRay surveillance devices in Washington DC, which were reportedly pinned on the Israeli intelligence service Mossad's attempts to hack the phone of then US president Donald Trump.

Several such devices, which mimic a regular cell tower to trick a mobile phone into revealing its unique ID number, were found near several sensitive locations in the US capital, including the White House.

Johnson has reportedly been in talks with former senior UK Conservative figures about a potentially lucrative executive role in the Tory-linked Telegraph media group as part of a takeover bid. The paper, for which he used to write a column, is now publishing a series of exclusives from his memoir. 

The most recent excerpt included a revelation that in 2021, as British prime minister, his government considered a raid on the Netherlands to secure some 5 million doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, over which the UK and the EU were in dispute.

no intel failure...

A year after Palestinian armed groups breached Gaza's security fence and led a simultaneous wave of assaults on Israeli communities and outposts, FRANCE 24 looks at the intelligence failures that led to the October 7 attacks. There was plenty of warning that Hamas was planning a large-scale assault: suspicious movements along the border with Gaza, as well as a huge military parade taking place inside the enclave. But Israeli authorities ignored them. FRANCE 24's Claire Duhamel examines how the threat from Hamas was underestimated at the highest echelons of the Israeli army and state.

the "directive"....

Kibbutz Be’eri: A piece of heaven on earth. That’s what Geoffrey Majzner says Kibbutz Be’eri was like just one year ago, before this idealistic place of peaceniks and pioneers became a massacre site. Before his sister was murdered in her home by Hamas terrorists as he sheltered in his bedroom just a few streets away. Galit Carbone: 66 years old. Mother of three, grandmother of six. The only Australian killed on the deadliest day in Israeli history.

Majzner - also known as Danny - describes his older sister as “exactly my opposite”. He is a boisterous bicycle-riding fanatic; she was a reserved librarian who loved watching British comedy shows. Yet they circled each other through their lives. Their Jewish parents moved the family from Sydney to Israel when the siblings were aged seven and 11, settling in Kibbutz Be’eri. They both moved to Perth, married, divorced and returned to live in the kibbutz. They couldn’t stay away. Nothing compared to life in Be’eri, located just four kilometres from the border with Gaza.

“There were no hassles, no pollution, no police, kids running around in the street,” Majzner says as he guides us through the kibbutz wearing a black “I love Be’eri” T-shirt. The kibbutz was founded in 1946 by utopian, left-wing Zionists who believed in communal living and direct democracy. Today Be’eri stands out among Israel’s 270-odd kibbutz communities (known as kibbutzim) for being especially well-off: home not just to thriving crop plantations but one of the nation’s biggest printing presses.

The Hannibal Directive was a highly classified military order used by the Israeli army. It was created in 1986 by three top army commanders and outlined the measures to be taken in the event that an Israeli soldier was captured during combat. The order’s intention was to prevent the enemy from escaping with the captured soldier, even if it meant putting the soldier’s life and the lives of civilians at risk. The Hannibal Directive was last implemented during the 2014 Gaza War, also known as Operation Protective Edge, during which over 2,000 Palestinians and 72 Israelis were killed.

On August 1, 2014, the Israeli Army invoked the Hannibal Directive at Rafah in southern Gaza to prevent Hamas fighters from fleeing with a captured Israeli officer. The intense action that followed resulted in the deaths of at least 135 civilians, 75 of whom were children. Amnesty International and other NGOs have labelled the events of that day, referred to as “Black Friday,” as a war crime.

This documentary is exploring the secret history of the Hannibal Directive, including its origins, recent use, and implications. The film, made amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the doctrine’s morality and application, features interviews with former Israeli soldiers, reservists, and civilians who were divided on whether the policy, which resulted in the deaths of numerous innocent civilians, could ever be justified. The order was eventually quietly revoked by the Israeli military in June 2016.

An investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has confirmed that the Israeli army implemented the so-called Hannibal Directive on October 7.

The Hannibal Directive is a controversial Israeli military procedure designed to prevent the capture of its soldiers, even if it results in their own deaths.

The Australian investigation concluded that the protocol was used by the Israeli military to prevent Hamas from capturing Israeli soldiers, leading to the deaths of Israeli settlers and civilians. 

The report, published on ABC’s website on Friday, includes testimony from settler Omri Shefrini, who survived an Israeli tank shelling on a house in the Be’eri settlement within Gaza. 

Not Good, Not Moral

ABC reported that soon after October 7, “there were some testimonies from Israeli civilians and military personnel that Israeli forces responding to the Hamas attack killed their own citizens.”

However, the report noted how “many Israelis and supporters of Israel condemned anyone who suggested it had occurred, before more testimonies and Israeli media reports confirmed it was true.”

The report, published on ABC’s website on Friday, includes testimony from Omri Shifroni, who survived an Israeli tank shelling on a house in the Be’eri settlement, located in the Gaza envelope, on October 7. 

“We know that at least one hostage was killed by one of the shells,” Shifroni was quoted as saying. 

According to ABC, Shifroni, who lost three of his relatives on October 7, “remains upset about the Israeli military’s decision to use heavy munitions on homes in Be’eri.”

“I think it was not the right decision, not a good decision and not moral,” he was quoted as saying.

Haaretz Report

Last July, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that the Israeli army ordered the activation of the Hannibal Procedure, which included the killing of both detainees and their captors, during the military operation carried out by the Palestinian Resistance on October 7.

An investigation by the newspaper confirmed that the Israeli army issued orders to ensure no vehicle was allowed to return to Gaza during the attack, despite the risk to the residents of the Gaza envelope.

“This was not the first order given by the division with the intent of foiling kidnapping even at the expense of the lives of the kidnapped, a procedure known in the army as the ‘Hannibal procedure’,” the paper reported.
