(Updated: Dec 29, 2015)
In an earlier posting on this weblog nosotros took a await at the phones used past times the Israeli prime number government minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which included an eye-catching blood-red one. In some to a greater extent than recent pictures nosotros tin consider that this blood-red telephone has evidently been replaced past times an interesting looking white telephone.
Although this device itself is white, it has a rarely seen but really distinctive feature: a blood-red curly cord for the handset as well as also a blood-red cable for the telephone line. The buttons are also surrounded past times some variety of blood-red overlay:

The night grayness telephone at the left is a to a greater extent than mutual used at the NSA headquaters as well as at the purpose of the British prime number minister. Nortel was a large Canadian telephone equipment manufacturer, but was dissolved inward 2009.
The white telephone alongside the blood-red cord also appears on a side tabular array inward the seating corner of Netanyahu's office, where before at that spot was exclusively a dark phone. The latter is a to a greater extent than mutual Telrad Executive Phone 79-100-0000 from the Israeli telecom equipment manufacturer Telrad. This telephone is also inward the purpose of the Israeli defense forcefulness government minister as well as thus it seems to locomote component of the (non-secure) internal telephone organization of both ministries.

We clearly consider the "new" white telephone adjacent to the existing dark one.

From the flick inward a higher house nosotros tin brand a close-up of the white telephone, which looks a flake dissimilar than the ane inward the get-go picture. It has no blood-red overlay merely about the buttons, but instead a blood-red lining merely about the display as well as blood-red stripes on the dorsum of the handset. Unfortunately the blood-red letters inward a higher house the display aren't readable:
The blood-red markings as well as the blood-red cords betoken that this telephone is used similar what inward the the States is called a "red phone". That's a telephone which is connected to a highly secured network for communicating alongside meridian grade policymakers as well as armed forces commanders. This doesn't necessarily hateful that such a telephone itself has to locomote capable of encrypting the vocalization data, that tin also locomote done past times an encryption device at the internal (secure) telephone switch.
As the white telephone inward Netanyahu's purpose is a rather large device, it could locomote possible that it tin practise the necessary encryption, although secure phones from other countries (like the STE used inward the US) are ofttimes fifty-fifty bigger, then nosotros cannot create upwards one's need heed upon that.
State of Israel has its ain manifacturer of secure communications equipment: the defense forcefulness contractor Elbit Systems, which was formerly component of the Tadiran conglomerate. There are no pictures available of phones mabe past times Tadiran or Elbit, then nosotros cannot country whether the white telephone inward the purpose of Netanyahu was made past times this company.
The white telephone isn't genuinely really new, it is already inward this picture from Oct 2011. Together alongside the dark ane from Telrad, the white telephone is also on a side tabular array adjacent to some other desk of Netanyahu, every bit nosotros tin consider for representative inward this screenshot:

With the white telephone non beingness completely new, it seems that it has been placed on Netanyahu's desk as well as inward the seating corner on purpose: to exhibit that the prime number government minister is ever inward accuse as well as inward contact alongside the military. Because of safety reasons, it's rather odd to consider secure telephones alongside their classification markings inward highly visible places similar these ceremonial offices where guests are received as well as the press is allowed in.
Update #1:
H5N1 reader of this weblog has recognized the white telephone every bit a Coral DKT-2320 made past times the Israeli fellowship Tadiran Telecom. Although this is a spin-off of the same Tadiran from which Elbit Systems emerged, this is a mutual purpose telephone without safety features. Therefore the blood-red markings as well as the blood-red cords from the ane inward Netanyahu's purpose most probable betoken that this telephone is connected to a switch where the calls are encrypted inward bulk.
Update #2:
The telephone alongside the blood-red cord as well as the blood-red environment of the buttons nosotros saw inward the get-go picture, forthwith also appeared inward 2 photos from a squad inside the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Intelligence Corps’ Unit 9900, which were published inward a IDF spider web log posting from Apr 2, 2015:
In this photograph nosotros accept a improve await at the "red phone", which appears to locomote a distinct version of the generic white ones which are adjacent to the other operate stations. This telephone is dissimilar though from the Tadiran Coral DKT-2320 mentioned above.
Update #3:
On Dec 29, 2015, The Wall Street Journal reported most NSA's spying activities against Israel, maxim that they had "a cyber implant inward Israeli networks that gave the NSA access to communications inside the Israeli prime number minister’s office".
