'The concern was that leaving Perry's report without a response would revive tensions that existed between the U.S. and Israeli intelligence communities following the Jonathan Pollard affair in the 1980s. Pollard was sentenced to life in a U.S. prison after being convicted of spying for Israel.'

As I recall, Israel denied that Pollard ever spied for them either - for more than ten years, in fact. I don't know if that did anything to reduce tensions between the CIA and Israel - perhaps another strategy is in order.
