The Spin

Narrative A

Any Israeli resident who works with the country's enemies will be considered a traitor. Israel possesses a particularly strong and dynamic internal security apparatus and is more than capable of rooting out foreign agents. Iran will not be allowed to act so flagrantly.

Jerusalem Post

Narrative B

Iran is preying upon the most vulnerable in Israeli society — recent immigrants who are facing difficulties adjusting to a new country and are experiencing financial hardships — to create spies in their surveillance apparatus. Israel will need to do more to make sure immigrants effectively assimilate into Israeli society and feel accepted, lest their bitterness be used against Israel.
