Damage control: US ‘reassuring’ Israel after Pentagon intel leak
(Worthy News) – American officials are reaching out to their Israeli counterparts to “reassure” them after an explosive U.S. intelligence leak suggested that Washington spied on Israel, as well as researched how to pressure Jerusalem into abandoning its neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
According to an Axios report, several Pentagon officials “urged their counterparts in the Israeli Defense Ministry to not overreact” to the leak. American officials also said that they are investigating the source of the breach.
Another highly classified document made public in the leak highlighted U.S. intelligence’s belief that the Mossad – Israel’s storied security agency – was actively involved in encouraging its employees to participate in anti-government protests, and that members of the body were organizing and attending demonstrations without revealing their affiliation with the agency.
