Former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren said, "Israel hasn't spied on the U.S. since the Pollard incident [in the mid-1980s]....Israel doesn't spy against the U.S., period." A senior diplomatic source added: "Since Pollard, Israel is very careful. Things are very organized and coordinated with the U.S."
