Informational Scandal in the US. And Israel

A fortress-like American Embassy in Tel Aviv, with a drawbridge on chains, concrete dividers, tall walls, and powerful antennae on the roof. It's also the stronghold of the North American special services. They've been working with Israeli Intel for a long time in the Middle East. The special services trust each other so much, that not even the mutual dislike between Obama and Netanyahu, not the predicted friendship between the new US President and the same Israeli PM, doesn't affects the intelligence contacts. We have a great relationship between our special services, that have grown stronger in the past few years. This is valuable for both sides, we must cherish it.

On May 2nd, at the Independence Day parade, F-35 multirole fighters appeared for the first time in Tel Aviv sky. A powerful weapon, not recognized by radars. New from the US defense complex, already in Israeli Air Force. This is just the beginning, soon 30 more will land on Israeli bases.

In return, Israel, who has a border with Syria, becomes US special services' eyes and ears, their main informant on the actions of Islamist militants. It's logical to assume there are attempts to at least try to find the agent, an informant in the ranks. It would be stupid not to do it, considering how close ISIS operates to the Israeli border. There are Israeli Arabs in Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi's troops: any one of them could be an Aman intelligence agent.

In Israeli hospitals, Syrian Free Army soldiers are treated, along with soldiers from moderate Islamist groups and local civilians. Each one of them can thank the Israeli medics in their own way. It's obvious that the majority of Intel data from Mossad and Aman becomes hastily available to CIA and NSA. What did Trump say in his conversation with Lavrov? Did he say it, and will it affect the Syrian agents in ISIS?

Surprisingly, the informational scandal in Washington didn't echo in Israel at all. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has ensured that the exclusive strategic contacts of allies are still intact, that the veterans of Israeli special services see no reason to be worried. If he was instructed not to pass this information on to anybody, that's one thing; if they didn't say it, he can't just figure it out on his own. But there's nothing criminal in passing this information on. It's not like the closed-door meeting between ISIS fighters will help the Caliphate agents to discover the mole. It's another thing, when the media that wasn't even there, writes about this meeting.

People that leaked this information to the press, and it's been leaked by the people who have clearance for this data, they committed a crime by raising this question. They did by leaking this information. In spite of all the laws, they went to the press. And the press that published it, they gave the terrorist groups a chance to follow this lead and to see what's happening. These people committed the crime. So the criminals are those who leaked the information, and they must be found in any country and stand before court.

 

Later on there was a version, that they aren't Israeli, but Jordanian informants in ISIS. This makes sense, since there are refugee camps on the Syrian-Jordan border. The question of who, where, and why shared this information becomes a task, where there's so much unknown, it becomes useless for the Intel services, but attractive for informational war masters and instigators.
