A photo of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talking on the phone has sparked a wave of questions and speculation online, after his phone's camera was covered with red tape.
According to reports, the photo was taken in an underground parking lot at the Knesset (parliament) in Jerusalem, where Netanyahu was seen talking on a phone, whose camera lens and sensors had been covered with thick red tape, reports MEDIA.
Experts and online rumors suggest that covering the camera with tape is a security measure used in restricted government areas to prevent unauthorized recording of sensitive information — meaning it physically blocks the camera lens so that no one can film or capture images from the device.
Such "tamper-evident" tapes are designed so that any attempt to remove the tape leaves visible evidence, enforcing strict rules prohibiting photography in high-security environments.
Some praise his caution, while others criticize the irony that a leader of one of the most technologically advanced countries feels compelled to use tape for his privacy.
Questions were also raised online about the type of phone Netanyahu uses, with some suggesting it could be an iPhone, but this detail remains part of speculation and debate. /Telegraph/
