South Africa has to cooperate with the Israelis, because they need all that good information from one of the best, most efficient intelligence agencies in the world – also the most ruthless. But on the other hand, they also can’t trust them – because they’re going to start spying in South Africa on the South Africans.
Journalist Will Jordan reports on what the world has learned about Israel’s internal, and international, intelligence operations – from a split on Iran’s nuclear programs, to blackmail and cyber-attacks in South Africa.
Will is one of the journalists publishing the Spy Cables series of reports at Al Jazeera.
