[global network report] according to sky news, israeli president herzog said on the 22nd local time when he was a guest on the media program that he "categorically denied" that israel was behind the explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies in lebanon. the british independent published an article saying that the above remarks conflicted with the statement of israeli prime minister netanyahu and that there were differences among the top israeli politicians.

according to sky news, when asked about the alleged explosion of communications equipment targeting hezbollah in lebanon, herzog said, "i categorically refuse to have any contact with the perpetrators of this or such actions." sky news said that herzog's statement went beyond the official information given by the israeli government, which has not yet made a clear statement on the matter. the media also said that herzog's statement was inconsistent with the behind-the-scenes conversations the media reporter had with israeli political and security officials in recent days.

sky news reporter alistair boncar wrote that while no one outright admitted that israel had carried out the operation, when discussing the incident and its potential consequences, interviewees generally expressed something in a metaphorical way, such as a nod or a wink. the conversation took place in the context of "we all know what happened, but we avoid talking about it."

"herzog may be suggesting that hezbollah has other enemies, but other than the united states (which has repeatedly denied advance knowledge of the attacks), i can't think of any other country that had the ability, willingness, and purpose to carry out these attacks. no one, not even israel, has blamed anyone else," bunkal wrote.
