When asked about the affair in a radio interview, Avigdor Lieberman said Israel made a “specific correction” in its dealings with the U.S.
It was the first comment by a senior Israeli official on the matter. U.S. officials have said Trump shared Israeli intelligence in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Trump said while visiting Israel this week that he didn’t mention Israel by name in the meeting.
“Everything we needed to clarify with our friends in the United States was done,” Lieberman said in an Army Radio interview. “We made clarifications.”
He provided no further details, but touted “unprecedented” intelligence cooperation with Washington.
I wish these despicable Israelis wld shut up already and not bring on more Antisemitism. I hope Trump trumps them to the end of the century. Theyre the worst of any kind!
Wicked Lieberman!! How can u risk the wrath of Americans here & abroad by making sucha public shameful allegation?!! You cant trust the Israelis with a thing so I’l soon believe that Trump leaked classified info. Shameful disgraceful people!!!
What does appear to confirm mean? Fake news
Why is it easier for so many of you to blame the Israelis rather than accept the fact that your president disclosed highly confidential information that has the potential of not only disrupting an important Israeli intelligence operation, but also of causing the horrible deaths of undercover operatives? Even Trump is not denying that he gave the Russians this information. The man is demonstrably incompetent and a danger to the free world.
