Whether this is true or not, I think someone making the claim is good news. People trust digital forensic evidence more than they should. Some FUD is a useful corrective.
If you're up to no good, buy an iPhone and badmouth Bibi on social media.
So... It's a link to a guy claiming he said those exact words? With no context? Or proof? Why no link to a reputable source, instead of some random dude?

Is he claiming to plant false evidence, or just that smartphones are a great tool for social manipulation? I would believe both are the case, but it's just that "penetrate" could be ambiguous in the sense that getting propaganda in front of people's eyes could be considered a kind of penetration.
Theory number one after catching up with some Israeli friends: he is clutching at straws trying to do preemptive damage control about the evidence that is going to come out about him...
Namely that on top of the documented fact that he turned a blind eye to the funding channels that were strengthening Hamas, because he likes his enemies to be radical non-negotiators, he also was informed about October 7th but decided it would be expedient to let the horror happen as he thought he could use it to strengthen his power.

Whereas some people in tech are proud to post selfies with him, the actual monster.

The title is false too, it's "some guy claims"...
There's a video in the link of a 60 minutes interview with him. Maybe the video didn't load for you?
It did not. It would be nice to know where in this video, and it would be nice to know context.
Context means everything.

It's a video of Netanyahu directly saying this.

He's certainly right about his modus operandi: "If I'll say it often enough, enough people will believe it."
And I'd think he himself can't hack shit. :D
