NEWSRAEL: Do you use a mobile phone? You are using Israeli technology. Behind the words of Netanyahu is a hint of the world-reaching arms of its secret operations, such as the Beeper attack against the Hezbollah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that every mobile phone in the world includes Israeli technology, according to a report by TRT World.
He made the remarks during a meeting in Jerusalem with a delegation led by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, highlighting Israel’s contributions to innovation and exports. Netanyahu presented this as proof of Israel’s leadership in global technology.
The reality, however, is more nuanced. Israeli companies have made important contributions to the tech world—from pioneering apps like ICQ to Intel’s advanced chip design—but it is difficult to point to a single key component present in all mobile phones.
