Default NATO confirms radar data of missiles from Iran will not be shared with Israel
NATO’s chief and Turkish officials take pains to stress that data from the alliance’s missile system will not be shared with non-members, particularly Israel.

Data collected by an early-warning NATO radar system in Turkey will not be transferred to Israel, both Turkish and NATO officials confirmed Feb. 17, underlining that the missile defense project was designed to protect NATO territories and populations.

“Data is shared within our allies, among our allies. It’s a defensive system to protect the populations of NATO allies,” Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters at a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Turkey’s membership in the alliance.

Following insistent questions from Turkish media and lawmakers, Rasmussen had to repeat several times that “it was a NATO system and the data within the system will not be shared with third countries.”

In reality it probably doesn't matter. What amuses me is that this is the 4th or 5th time Squatty-Toad Erdogan has demanded that NATO make this public statement. In tactical terms there's no guarantee that the US/NATO radar would actually provide much benefit for Israel anyway. It's not likely to be aimed in the right direction to help them.
