Israeli agencies have increased their surveillance on US negotiators working on a peace deal with Iran, recent US intelligence reports have suggested.
US officials, including Steve Witkoff, Elbridge A. Colby, and Michael P. DiMino IV, have been targeted by Israeli spies, according to The New York Times.
The counterintelligence threat level posed by Israel has been raised to the highest level in recent weeks, citing US officials.
The US Defense Department declined to comment on the issue, while a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity said the account was false.
The increased Israeli spying comes amid Trump negotiating a peace deal to put an end to the war, with Israel looking for insights into Trump's strategy and shifting stances on peace talks with Iran.
