Report: Israel Spied on Iran Talks, Shared Info with U.S. Lawmakers
A new report accuses
Israel
of spying on nuclear talks between
Iran
, the United States and other world powers. According to The Wall Street Journal, the White House learned of the spying last year shortly after the negotiations opened. Citing unnamed U.S. officials, the Journal said the White House was not upset by the spying as much as it was by Israel’s decision to share inside information from the talks with U.S. lawmakers, as part of a campaign to derail the talks. Israel has denied the allegations, which come as the Obama administration is already criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his pre-election vow to block a Palestinian state. On Monday, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the two-state solution.
Denis McDonough
: "In the end, we know what a peace agreement should look like. The borders of Israel and an independent Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps. Each state needs secure and recognized borders, and there must be robust provisions that safeguard Israel’s security. An occupation that has lasted for almost 50 years must end."
Netanyahu has tried to walk back his disavowal of the two-state solution. On Monday, he also sought to walk back his election day warning Arab voters were flocking to the polls "in droves."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
: "I know that the things I said a few days ago offended Israel’s Arabs. I had no intention for this to happen. I regret this. My actions as prime minister, including the great investments in the minority sectors, prove the total opposite. Equally,
I think it’s forbidden that any foreign body will intervene in the processes of our democracy."
btw: Isn't that last line by Bibi's just delicious isn't it?
