A former head of Israel's national intelligence agency has responded to reports that Israel was the source of information that President Trump revealed to Russian officials at the White House last week.
"We will think twice before conveying very sensitive information," said Danny Yatom, Israel's former head of Mossad.
When asked how the U.S. government can move on after the president's disclosure to the Russians, Yatom said, "It can be repaired by asking again the Americans not to do it, not to convey such a nature of information, which is very sensitive and probably after a short period of time, the relations will be recovered, unless the phenomena of conveying information to a third party will continue."
A source briefed on the matter told CBS News' Pat Milton Tuesday that the classified information Mr. Trump passed on to Russian government officials originated with the Israeli government. The New York Times first reported that the intelligence came from Israel.

"Sergei...did you know we're getting some GREAT intel on ISIS out of Israel?
It's BIG LEAGUE, believe me. Never been done before. Not under Obama, not under anybody.
Those jews, they love me. And I love them. My son-in-law is a jew.
Those jews have guys in all their ISIS cells and they're leaking like a sieve.
Hey, ya know I would've won the popular vote if all those illegals hadn't voted illegally."
