The information apparently came from Israel.
“We always have safeguarded information from our allies and there’s nothing that has caused them to, we’ve received no questions at all,” Mattis says.
“We maintain steady military relations with our friends, our partners, our allies. There has been no disruption whatsoever, everything is quite steady and it’s a stable situation going forward, including into NATO,” he adds, referring to the upcoming alliance meeting in Brussels.
