Phone of senior Likud member hacked — report

The cellphone of senior Likud party member Gideon Sa’ar was hacked, according to public broadcaster Kan.

The report says it was not clear when Sa’ar’s phone was hacked, but that he had learned about it a few days before the Likud primaries in February.

Sa’ar has declined to comment.

The report comes after a number of other top Israeli political figures reportedly had their phones hacked, including Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz.
