However, Israel does have a solid reputation in the intelligence department. Not sure if we still rely on it as much or really need it that much with the dynamics in the ME, but they are a fairly big player in the spy game.

I never said they weren't good at spying. They built their country on espionage and I have great respect for their capabilities.

What I said is that they are not a major intelligence partner like the five eye nations are. Of course there is information shared with them, and nobody would ever consider not sharing information with them. That relationship is nowhere near what it is with other US partner nations. Not. Even. Close.

They have also shared intentionally incorrect information with us in well documented instances. So there is the history and tendency for them to rig the information in order to influence US operations.
