Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that his country led the world in cyber defence, after a report that an unnamed nation planned to meddle in its upcoming general election. "Israel is prepared to thwart a cyber intervention, we're prepared for any scenario and there's no country more prepared than we are," he told reporters. On Tuesday, privately-owned Hadashot television news reported that the head of the Shin Bet internal security agency had said that Israel was bracing for a state driven cyber intervention in the April 9 poll.

"The Israeli security establishment can enable holding democratic and free elections in Israel," it said in a statement late Tuesday. Russia denied social media speculation it was the state planning to disrupt the Israeli vote. "Russia has never interfered in elections in any country and has no plans to do it in the future," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in comments relayed by the Russian embassy in Israel. Moscow has been accused of seeking to influence various elections around Europe -- and the US presidential poll in 2016 -- through disinformation campaigns.
