Yesterday, the New York Times followed on the NBC report of Friday night on a DIA assessment of the growing Israeli espionage threat. Unlike NBC, the NYT actually named targets of the Israeli spy efforts: Steve Witkoff, Elbridge Colby and one of Colby’s main deputies, Michael P. DiMino IV.
One report, “written by the Defense Intelligence Agency and other military intelligence offices and focused on earlier events going back several years, said that the counterintelligence threat level posed by Israel had been increased [by U.S. military officials] in recent weeks to the top level, from high to critical,” the New York Times reported. “The report, to which the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency contributed, outlines various efforts by Israel to spy on American military personnel and government officials.”
“The U.S. military is sharing huge amounts of tactical and operational information with its Israeli counterparts. But senior American officials said that Israel is looking for insights into Mr. Trump’s strategy and shifting stances on the peace talks.
