An army officer stripped of his security clearance due to ASIO's concern he is more loyal to Israel than Australia has not been kicked out of the nation's defence force.

Despite having served in the Australian Defence Force for 19 years, the officer told ASIO he did not view Israel as a foreign government and would share classified information with its military if asked for it.
