Shin Bet: Steinitz did not leak confidential intel on Iran

OCTOBER 9, 2012 19:14

The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) denied that Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz leaked information on Iran from confidential security cabinet meetings, after Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported the claim on Tuesday.

According to Al-Jarida, Steinitz shared information on intelligence briefings and high-level discussions between Defense Minister Ehud Barak and his American counterparts on Iran. The Kuwaiti paper said the Shin Bet discovered the leaks by monitoring the finance minister's phone calls.

Sources close to Steinitz blamed Barak for the reports, but Barak's office said that is not their style, that Barak does not pay any attention to Steinitz.

Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen called Steinitz to say the Al-Jarida report is baseless.
