You have nothing to worry about, Israel, Obama is totally on your side.

Via JPost:

For months, the United States and its allies have withheld “classified negotiating details” from Israel over its nuclear diplomacy with Iran, the Obama administration acknowledged on Wednesday.

Accusing Israeli officials of “selective sharing of information” and “cherry-picking” in its public complaints over the diplomatic effort, US spokesmen said they were continuing “routine and frequent” contact with the Israelis.

But “not everything you’re hearing from the Israeli government is an accurate depiction of the talks,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. And for that reason, “classified negotiating details stay behind closed doors.”

Those comments from the Obama administration came on the same day the New York Times ran a report alleging Washington had warned its European partners in the P5+1 not to be too open with Israel “because whatever we say may be used in a selective way.” The P5+1 is made up of the US, Russia, China, France, Germany and Britain.

The Times report dovetailed with one earlier in the week in the Washington Post, which said US officials were angry about alleged Israeli leaks that, in the negotiations, the US had increased the number of centrifuges it would allow Iran to retain from some 1,500 to more than 6,000.
