ALLY OR SPY? Pentagon Lists Israel As Threat, White House Surveillance Claims Explode

ALLY OR SPY? Pentagon Lists Israel As Threat, White House Surveillance Claims Explode In an extraordinary intelligence rupture that threatens to detonate one of Washington's most sacrosanct alliances, the United States Pentagon has formally raised its counterintelligence threat designation for Israel — America's closest Middle East partner — to "critical," the highest classification in its arsenal, according to two current and one former U.S. official cited by NBC News. The Defense Intelligence Agency's damning seven-page assessment, packed with specific documented incidents, concludes that Israeli espionage has surged far beyond what is considered acceptable even between allies — with Tel Aviv allegedly driving deep into the Trump administration's most classified internal deliberations on the Iran war. So severe is the threat that senior U.S. officials travelling to Israel have long been compelled to operate on burner phones and sanitised laptops, and to treat Israeli hotel rooms as hostile surveillance environments. The Israeli Embassy called the report "completely false." A White House official dismissed it as fabricated. But neither denial could erase the fact that a U.S. President who openly called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "crazy" this week now leads a Pentagon that has placed Israel in the same counterintelligence bracket as America's most dangerous adversaries. The special relationship is no longer what it was — and Washington's most explosive intelligence file may have just proved it. #israelspying, #pentagon, #trumpnetanyahu, #usisrael, #espionage, #breakingnews, #iranwar, #cia, #dia, #counterintelligence, #whitehouse, #netanyahu, #trump, #middleeast, #geopolitics, #nbcnews, #spygate, #nationalsecurity, #israelus, #timesnowglobal In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
