WASHINGTON –
U.S. intelligence officials temporarily suspended sharing some key information with Israel during U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration over concerns about its conduct of the war in Gaza, according to six people familiar with the matter.
In the second half of 2024, the U.S. cut off a live video feed from a U.S. drone over Gaza, which was being used by the Israeli government in its hunt for hostages and Hamas militants. The suspension lasted for at least a few days, said five of the sources.
The U.S. also restricted how Israel could use certain intelligence in its pursuit of high-value military targets in Gaza, said two of the sources, who declined to specify when this decision was taken.
