Better question is why does Israel have those details when they aren't part of the negotiations?

I think the US probably knows most or all of what Israel knows. The difference is that the US Administration is choosing to ignore anything that doesn't fit their political agenda. Obama wants a deal no matter how bad it is or how many Israelis die because of it. I hope Netanyahu does know something damaging and does reveal it.

Israel is in no way part of the talks so they should in no way have any info on them, if they do it shows great negligence. For an outside party to have details of such a delicate matter shows the intent that the talks are going to be largely unfruitful and biased.

This is exactly the reason that Israel is so worried about these talks - they are not included. Israel stands to lose the most from a bad deal - up to their total destruction. And why are they not included? Israel is a US ally and is located in the region and is widely known to be a nuclear power. Common sense would seem to dictate that they are a stakeholder in the talks and should be represented. They are not included because the US Administration wants a deal no matter what. They knew Israel would object to a bad deal so they are excluded.

Nobody remembers PROMIS? Never mind the negotiations, Bibi has access to a lot of material potentially highly embarrassing to the US. But that wouldn't serve other interests in either Israel or America. Look for a sudden accident or heart attack if it looks like he is waving that card around.
