The arrest of Bergling occurred therefore independently by Israel, and the reason for this was that Shin Bet needed to find out if Bergling also had conducted espionage on Israeli interests during his time in the Middle East.
Gripandet av Bergling skedde därför på egen hand av Israel och anledningen till detta var för Shin Bet att ta reda på om Bergling även hade spionerat på israeliska intressen under sin tid i Mellanöstern.
