Middle East Eye: US leaked documents allege Mossad urged protests against Netanyahu's reforms
Israel vehemently denies reports which suggest that Washington spied on its ally
Leaked US intelligence documents allege that the Israeli spy body Mossad secretly encouraged people to join protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul.
The documents, dating back to "early to mid-February", state that Mossad's leadership had "advocated for Mossad officials and Israeli citizens to protest the new Israeli government's proposed judicial reforms including several explicit calls to action that decried the Israeli government".
The intelligence memo does not state who made the order to encourage Mossad employees and civilians to join the protests but notes that the intelligence came from signals intelligence - meaning the US spied on its closest ally in the region.

ReplyDeleteThey're doing great.
What interest me with this post is that any number of countries seem to have intel and other agencies that, working in secrecy, often want or at least seem to do things that are contrary to what their leaders are doing. Is that an example of deep states?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a good example of just how dysfunctional the west is becoming. From what I’ve been reading and watching, these leaked documents seem legit. Ukraine will be out any real air defence missiles next month. Russian airforce will wrap things up in double quick time.
Deletesure. and they were to wrap things up in one month after the invasion!
ReplyDeleteAccording to US intelligence. That explains everything. You don’t eliminate a well equipped, well funded nearly million man defence force in a week or a month. You seemed to have gobbled that up though, hook, line and sinker.
