This was an example of what would be a pattern of quid-pro-quo. This arrangement involved James Jesus Angleton as the head of the CIA's relationship with the Israeli intelligence services, primarily the Mossad and Aman. Angleton may have not been sympathetic with the concept of Zionism, but that did not matter because the relationship gave him and the U.S. a strong lever to confront the developing Soviet influence in the Middle East primarily with Egypt and Syria. The Soviet Union would become the Arabs major weapons supplier. Stemming from his wartime OSS liaison with Jewish resistance groups in London, Angleton was instrumental in arranging the working relationship with Israeli Mossad wherein the CIA would rely on the Mossad for much of its intelligence about the Arab states.[390] Angleton allegedly dealt with Ben-Gurion.[391] Angleton's tendency was to do his own thing; for example, he had to be ordered by Allen Dulles, the CIA Director, to work with Kermit Roosevelt who became the de facto “Mr. Middle East”.
