Former Mossad chief: Israel will "think twice" before sharing sensitive info

“We will think twice before conveying very sensitive information,” said Danny Yatom, Israel’s former head of Mossad.

When asked how the U.S. government can move on after the president’s disclosure to the Russians, Yatom said, “It can be repaired by asking again the Americans not to do it, not to convey such a nature of information, which is very sensitive and probably after a short period of time, the relations will be recovered, unless the phenomena of conveying information to a third party will continue.”
