US veteran lawmaker says Israel intelligence leak counts as ‘act of treason’

Published



Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) warned that the United States needs to deal with its “leaky ships” on its key information related to Israel, saying the most recent leak should be considered an “act of treason.”

Top secret documents showing Israel’s plans for a retaliatory strike on Iran, dated Oct. 15 and 16, were leaked to an Iranian Telegram account Friday. Mast, a U.S. military veteran and a former volunteer for the Israel Defense Forces, explained that there are “a lot of leaks in these ships.” While the U.S. cannot determine the exact source of the leaks, it knows they exist.
