Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that a eavesdropping device was found in his personal bathroom at the Foreign Office after it was used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Johnson added that when the Israeli prime minister visited his ministry in 2017, his security team found eavesdropping devices in the toilets.
