JERUSALEM, March 24 (Xinhua) -- A senior Israeli official on Tuesday denied allegations that it spied on closed-door negotiations between the U.S. and other world powers over a nuclear deal with Iran.
The denial followed a Wall Street Journal report on Tuesday that Israel acquired confidential information on the nuclear talks in order to help Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu build a case against the emerging deal.
The Wall Street Journal report said that Israel's espionage included eavesdropping, in addition to obtaining information from confidential U.S. briefings, informants and diplomatic contacts in Europe.
