New Wikileak documents reveal that the United States instructed its Middle East diplomats in 2008 to gather data on encrypted Israeli communications according to a leaked embassy cable. The secret memorandum was signed by then U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The findings come at a time when Israel has requested the U.S. free Jonathan Pollard who it has imprisoned for 25 years on charges of spying against the U.S.
