US President Donald Trump's information leak to Russia has been linked to intelligence information from Israel. Now pundits are asking how big the damage could be and how it will affect future information sharing.
On the eve of President Trump’s scheduled visit to Israel, controversy surrounding relations between the US and Israel is swirling.
With the New York Times revelation that Israel was the source of top secret information the president leaked to Russia, a ricochet of speculation is revolving around the extent of resulting damage.
Questions loom over whether sensitive information will reach Iran via Russia. And is the life of an alleged Israeli spy embedded with ISIL — the reported source of critical information according to a US news outlet — in danger?
Israeli government officials are not commenting on the leak.
Trump’s information leak is the latest in a series of relationship snags between Israel and the US in the lead-up to the president's upcoming visit. Trump is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Monday.
