Snowden claims NSA intelligence sharing with Israel was a “biggest abuse” and frames it as whistle‑blowing The passage repeats known public statements by Edward Snowden about NSA cooperation with Israel’s Unit 8200 and frames it as a policy approved by every president since 1948. While it identifies a specific foreign intelligence partnership and cites Snowden’s allegation of abuse, the information is already widely reported and offers no new documents, dates, or financial details to pursue. It does, however, highlight a potential line of inquiry into the historical congressional authorizations for intelligence sharing with Israel, which could be useful for a deeper investigation. Key insights: Snowden described NSA data exchange with Israel’s Unit 8200 as one of the biggest abuses he has seen.; He claims the policy of sharing intelligence with Israel has been approved by every U.S. president and Congress since 1948.; The passage references Snowden’s 2014 Wired interview and his broader criticism of NSA spying on adversary nations, including China.
