Snowden Leak: NSA Flagged Israel as Leading Espionage Threat

A leaked 2007 NSA mission list identifying priorities for surveillance targeting repeatedly lists Israel as a leading threat in numerous areas, including “combating the threat of development of weapons of mass destruction” and “delivery methods (particularly ballistic and nuclear-capable cruise missiles).”
Israel is also considered a leading perpetrator of “espionage/intelligence collection operations and manipulation/influence operations… against US government, military, science and technology and [the] intelligence community.”
“Manipulation/influence operations” refers to covert Israeli efforts to influence US public perception in Israel’s favor.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously boasted that “America is a thing you can move very easily.”
