Maqsoud and spying for Israel in the USA

Former Director of the Arab League Bureau in Washington, Cloris Maqsoud, on Tuesday stressed that the American administration's attempt to play down the shock of the Israeli spying on the U.S. reflects the extent of the Zionist lobby power on the American administration and the decision makers there.

In an article published in Kuwait-based "al-Ra'i al-Aam" daily, Maqsoud pointed out that the American administration pretext that the case is a mere "Documents Divulging" and not a spy operation forbids the American people of their rights to account the spies at the expense of appeasing Israel.

He said the American administration seeks to protect Israel from international sanctions and condemnation due to its continued violation of the international resolutions.
