The Pentagon has raised the counterintelligence threat level concerning Israel to its highest level. This decision comes as U.S. officials express increasing concern over Israel ramping up its spying activities against the United States.
The Defense Department believes Israel has eavesdropped on American negotiations with Iran. Internal reports highlight increased espionage activity occurring amid ceasefire talks and the US-Israeli war with Iran.
While the United States and Israel have long been aware that they spy on one another, recent efforts by Israel to learn about U.S. positions in talks with Iran may have crossed a line.
