French newspaper Le Monde has claimed that the United Kingdom’s GCHQ intelligence agency spied on Israeli military, defence firms and diplomatic missions.
The French newspaper premised its report on leaked documents from whistleblower Edward Snowden.
“The Israelis constitute a true threat to regional security, in particular, because of the position of this country with respect to the Iranian dossier,” a top secret file reportedly read, despite the UK’s apparent support for Israel and the proximity between the two countries.
