On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed their would be no meddling in the April Knesset election, after state censors suppressed a speech by his domestic intelligence chief accusing a foreign power of planning to hack the vote.

Israeli newspaper commentators speculated that he had pointed the finger at Russia, which Netanyahu’s own intelligence minister, Yisrael Katz, told local media last month could potentially want to replicate in Israel an alleged online influence campaign and email hacking to help Donald Trump win the US ballot in 2016.
