CIA Warns Israel Is Seeking To Make Defense Ties With US Hard To Undo, Report Claims
A report possibly linked to the U.S. intelligence community believes Israel seemingly aims to entrench itself in U.S. institutions and more permanently capture American support.
Members of the CIA and other U.S. intelligence officials allegedly wrote an assessment about Israel’s strategy to connect itself to American weapons, industrial, and intelligence programs, a Capital & Empire report claims. The alleged report claimed that public U.S. aid to Israel would gradually be replaced by long-term, institutional relationships through which financial aid could subtly spread between government programs.
The alleged CIA document has yet to be publicly released, and the names of any specific individuals enacting this plan have not been disclosed, Capital & Empire reported.
