They sure do, but looking at recent events, you can make an educated guess on which country has more influence over the other. Part of it can be attributed to spying and knowing dark? secrets.


Trump publicly prohibited various Israeli operations (at end of 2025 op and 2026 Iran war), publicly badmouthed Nethanyahu repeatedly (via Barak Ravid), and had various diplomatic initiatives Nethanyahu didn't like. It's pretty obvious who has more influence here.


> They sure do

Do you have an example?


As much as they don’t, that’s why it’s spying. But given the budget for spying agencies the guess is they might be doing something and it wouldn’t be intelligent not to spy on Israel, something I don’t believe to be true even for this administration.


Given that US spies on other countries, including allies (countless examples), I wouldn't rule out them spying on Israel either.


You seem to have forgotten to answer the question of an example.

Or when you said “they sure do” did you mean “they possibly do,” since no example is available but you can’t rule it out?
