Who Released Picture of PM Netanyahu at Nuclear Plant?

(Jpost).A photograph of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visiting the Dimona nuclear reactor was aired Tuesday night on the Israel Broadcasting Authority's Channel 1 news show Mabat.

The segment was very short, not accompanied by any analysis, and said only that Netanyahu had toured Dimona and been briefed on the work being done there. The accompanying still photograph showed him, dressed in a white coverall, standing next to an unidentified installation.

An official at the Prime Minister's Office denied that the picture existed. The office released no information except that Netanyahu had visited the facility and received a briefing on scientific projects being undertaken there.
