　　In a weekly meeting of Knesset (parliament) members of Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, the Prime Minister said he had asked to call forth¹ an inquiry² into the details of the supposed eavesdropping³.

　　"In the close relationship between Israel and the U.S. there are things that must not be done and that are unacceptable for us, " the Ynet news website cited Netanyahu as saying.

　　Netanyahu also mentioned in that aspect Jonathan Pollard, a U.S. -Israeli spy who has been incarcerated⁴ for spying against the U.S. on Israel's behalf and sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for espionage⁵, a sensitive topic in the alliance between Israel and the U.S. and the conduct of espionage between the allies.

　　"He should have been released a long time ago," Netanyahu said. "This is understood to everyone here and I believe it is understood to growing audience in the U.S. as well," the prime minister added.

　　Documents were leaked over the weekend by the former U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) contractor⁶ Edward Snowden and published in Der Spiegel and the New York Times.

　　These documents showed that the NSA, along with British Intelligence, intercepted⁷ emails and phone calls of Netanyahu, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Defense⁸ Minister Ehud Barak.
