This is actually new. We don’t just dump literally everything we know on Mossad, we tell them what we think they need to know and keep other certain things close to the chest if we need to.
There’s many reasons we could’ve been waiting on telling Israel everything we knew about Sinwar, for example, he’s the highest ranking Hamas official inside Gaza, and is the one who would accept/negotiate hostage deals or ceasefire’s.
