📝🤨 Various online commentators question whether the messages were leaked intentionally:

🔺 Josiah Lippincott: Normally IDF-veteran Jeffrey Goldberg would have to wait at least 2 or 3 hours for Mossad to give him the hacked communications.

By adding him straight to the gc, the admin simply cut out the middleman.

🔺 Paul Skallas: Looks like an intentional leak to me. They are even messaging to each other like there will be a large audience reading this.

🔺 Cynical Publius: The minute I read the chat my very first thought was that Goldberg was specifically and deliberately included so that he would leak what he saw to the public. The idea was to let Europe know just how unhappy American leadership is with Europe's unwillingness to pull its weight militarily. The backchannel, seemingly accidental nature of that reveal was powerful and I believe intentional.

Also, as someone who has read his fair share of Top Secret/SCI war plans, this ain't it.

🔺 FischerKing: It was Jeffrey Goldberg who tried to link Sadaam Hussein to Al Qaeda (and by implication to 9/11) in a 2002 New Yorker article - part of the overall effort to get us into the Iraq war. Not a guy you want with access to anything confidential.

🔺 ZMT: Goldberg isn’t your average editor-in-chief. He’s ex-IDF and notorious for pushing the Iraq war.
