The identity of the journalist who first broke the sensitive story about a missing American airman has now been revealed.
An Israeli journalist has come out and admitted to being the first to drop the bombshell details on the second missing U.S. airman in Iran, the New York Post reported.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on President Trump’s explosive White House comments slamming “somebody” for leaking sensitive details about the missing fighter pilot.
Trump made it crystal clear that reckless disclosure put hundreds of U.S. troops, including elite SEAL Team 6 operators, in mortal danger during the high-stakes rescue deep inside hostile Iranian territory.
The rescue of both airmen was nothing short of an Easter miracle. One pilot was recovered quickly.
The second, the weapons systems officer, evaded Iranian forces for days, surviving intense firefights before being extracted in a daring operation that showcased the unmatched bravery of America’s warfighters.
“As you probably know, we didn’t talk about the first one for an hour, and then somebody leaked something, which we’ll hopefully find that leaker; we’re looking very hard to find that leaker, and talked about there’s somebody missing,” Trump said to reporters on Monday.

Jail...
Lock him up!
“Segal, a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party, spoke to Doornbos about Trump’s comments. “I’m not sure I was the first,” Segal said about the report the airman had been rescued, which meant the other was still unaccounted for.
“And anyway — I will protect my sources,” Segal told Doornbos.”
yeah, well see how close he is to Bibi.
Gas him.
And I’m Jewish
Why did they need anyone to step forward? Can’t they tell who published it first?
“yeah, well see how close he is to Bibi.”
Not nearly close enough to offset Trump’s relationship.
Bibi will have to find out who in his government leaked this and fire their rear.
Jail the weasel and his source for ten years at hard labor...
Is a leak under these conditions really protected?? I doubt it.
Well, there are certainly Leftists in the Israeli government and military. They have their holes too.
Like the old saying about excuses...they’re like ***holes and everyone has one.
Or more.
We’re about to find out how many volts he can take.
I suspect we get a bit of info on this
Whoever leaked this cost America dearly. We got our WSO back but it cost us two C130s an A-10 ,and a bunch of other stuff .
No, issues of op operational national security are not. They can choose to talk or be tried and jailed for releasing the information
The ability to speak is not the issue, the releasing of sensitive information is. The reporter can be in jail for a very long time as they can be tried as a spy.
He can protect his sources under the Second Amendment until ...
Israel calls.
Israel “freedom of the press” is quite different from ours.
He can be found to have committed espionage, that will be an issue for the reporter and Isreal.
They know the publisher. They want to know who told him.
Within 24 hours this will be taken care of.
