The Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to 'critical,' alarming US officials over intensified Israeli spying on senior Trump administration figures, including the top Pentagon policy official and the president's chief Middle East negotiator. The assessment, which ranks Israel's espionage threat higher than any other US ally or some adversarial states, comes amid tensions over US-Israel coordination in the ongoing war with Iran and Israeli pressure to restart military operations.
