(Times of Israel) "Israel does not spy on the U.S.," the former head of military intelligence Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin said on Saturday, following two such reports in Newsweek. "As a former head of military intelligence, [I can say] with certainty, Israel does not spy on the United States. And military chiefs from the past 29 years will tell you the same thing," Yadlin told Channel 2 TV. "Every prime minister, since the Pollard incident, has very clearly instructed his intelligence establishment." "The American people must be told of the benefits [resulting from] the cooperation between our countries. There must be some balance to these very problematic reports." Also Saturday, Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz told Channel 10: "In all my meetings with heads of the U.S. intelligence establishment, I've never heard one claim about Israeli espionage in the United States."
