Intelligence Leak ‘Deeply’ Damages US-Israeli Relations, Expert Says
Daily Signal ^ | October 22, 2024 | Virginia Allen

The Pentagon is looking into the leak of intelligence information related to an upcoming Israeli attack on Iran. It was America’s responsibility to keep the information safe, officials say.

The leak likely has “deeply” damaged U.S.-Israeli relations during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, says Victoria Coates, Heritage Foundation vice president in charge of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy. The leak is “very, very concerning,” she says.

After Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles Oct. 1 at Israel, the Jewish state announced that it would respond. The leaked documents don’t include specific targets that Israel plans to strike, but do include surveillance information.

Release of that information “definitely” has changed Israel’s original response plan, Coates says.

“The Iranians clearly have this information,” she says. “We don’t know what other information they have, and so I think Israel can and should take the time they need to develop an alternative plan.”

Coates joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the U.S. will find the leaker, and what the Biden-Harris administration can do to repair relations with Israel. She also talks about Israel’s strategy in attacking the financial assets of a second terrorist group, Hezbollah, just north of the Jewish state in Lebanon.

What? What? Does this mean stabbing a friend in the back changes the relationship?

I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.

It was meant to damage relations. It compromises Israel and it was an attempt to make foreign relations hard for Trump when he is elected.

For the current regime elite it was basically a twofer.

The deep state is corrupt, full of leftist activists that will do anything, from leaking Trump phone conversations to hurting allies by leaking classified info, etc.

I disagree. It confirms the damaged relationship between We the People and the corrupt government that Lord willing will be thrown out and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the betrayal of the American People. America loves Israel.

Remember when Trump refused State Dept intelligence briefings? Smart move. They knew this info was coming out and they planned to blame they leaks on him.

Try to imagine what would happen if the Biden commissars that control US intelligence came in possession of the names and idenities of Mossad’s operatives in Iran.

I sort of blame the Israeli’s on this one. They should know that this administration is not their friend.

The suspect in leaking the documents about the Israeli attack in Iran - the director of the Assistance Office for Special Operations at the US Department of Defense.

If the Israelis are smart this whole plan should be a head fake. They should know how corrupt the US govt. is at this point. Almost everyone here at FR does. If anything the purpose should be to spread thin any Iranian defence.

President Reagan had to deal with entrenched State Dept personal doing the same thing.

Anytime a conservative gets into office the state dept poses a huge problem. Is it too much to hope Trump goes in a fires everyone at the state dept?

I read today someone who intimated that the leak came from Harris.
That Trump has proof that Harris leaked this information to the Iranians. That Trump is going to publish this as the October Surprise.
Which is also why he has been calling her a traitor.

That Hillary came out saying that not to believe what Trump says about Kamala being a traitor.

Iran is an important part of the globalist takeover.

Nothing else can be concluded.

So, sharing Israel’s secret plans makes sense. It was inevitable like and FBI raid on a Trump supporter.

What makes more sense is you lie to the US and see where the dye surfaces.

Go Israel, move now and hit everything.
