Netanyahu had Clinton Lewinsky PHONE TAPPED CALLS - HONEY POT

The claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used recordings of President Bill Clinton’s phone-sex conversations with Monica Lewinsky to pressure the U.S. into releasing Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard is one of the more striking stories in modern political history. According to intelligence sources, Israeli operatives allegedly intercepted these private calls, possibly through sophisticated surveillance of White House communications—a continuation of Israel’s longstanding intelligence presence in Washington dating back to the Pollard affair in the 1980s.

In 1997, during Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S., he reportedly brought up Pollard’s release with Clinton. Some sources suggest that Netanyahu subtly referenced compromising material involving Clinton and Lewinsky—whose affair was still undisclosed at the time—as a form of political leverage. While Clinton did consider releasing Pollard, intense opposition from U.S. intelligence agencies prevented it. The incident is said to have caused tension within the administration, especially once the Lewinsky scandal became public and led to Clinton’s impeachment the following year.

Though rarely acknowledged by mainstream outlets, this account has continued to surface in intelligence and diplomatic circles. The details raise serious questions about the power of foreign surveillance, political blackmail, and how international actors may quietly influence decisions within the highest levels of U.S. leadership.
