Allies Like Us

Last night, the WSJ broke a story indicating that Israel had spied on talks between the U.S. and Iran. That part of the story is controversial (although, we’ve learned from the Snowden leaks that allies regularly spy on one another). But as WaPo reports, there’s a bigger issue described here by a senior official: It’s “one thing for the U.S. and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal U.S. secrets and play them back to U.S. legislators to undermine U.S. diplomacy.”
