A recently declassified CIA report reveals decades of Israeli espionage targeting the United States, despite a 1998 agreement intended to halt such activities. The report details consistent Israeli efforts to gather intelligence on US policy in the Middle East, American weapons systems, and technological advancements. While officials from both countries acknowledged the spying, they maintained it was conducted to protect Israel’s strategic interests. The report indicates that US officials were aware of the ongoing espionage but largely tolerated it, prioritizing the broader US-Israel strategic alliance. The spying included sophisticated methods like recruiting sources within the US government and exploiting vulnerabilities in American systems. The document sheds light on a long-held secret, confirming suspicions of continued Israeli intelligence gathering within the US even after the formal agreement.
