Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied a Kuwait newspaper report that his convoy was redirected on its journey from Nairobi’s airport to a city hotel after Kenyan authorities said bombs had been detected along the planned route.
During a press conference Thursday at the presidential palace in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Netanyahu was asked about the report in Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper. “We know nothing about it because there’s nothing in it,” he said.
