Netanyahu got idea for drone stunt from adviser

An official said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got the idea of displaying part of the downed Iranian drone from his communications adviser David Keyes.

During his speech at the Munich security conference Netanyahu brandished a fragment of an Iranian drone downed over northern Israel a week ago, warned that Israel could strike the Islamic Republic directly and cautioned Tehran not to “test Israel’s resolve.”

The official said Keyes helped Netanyahu by stashing the wing flap under the podium ahead of the speech.
