Israeli intelligence officials have been warned by their American counterparts not to share information with the Trump administration, according to media reports.

Suggestions that the US president revealed to Russia highly classified information about an operation to deal with Islamic State have caused ripples of unease in the Israeli intelligence community.

American officials implied during a closed meeting with Israel that shared information could be leaked to Russia and then onward to Iran, Yediot Ahronot reported.

Concerns that the Kremlin has influence over Donald Trump are based on longstanding suspicions of reported ties between Putin and his American counterpart.

1. I doubt we will be getting any Intel any time soon.

Trump's incompetence is getting seriously dangerous.

2. And it begins. We are officially in the dark, leaking from behind.

Leakers of the free world.

3. The warning came a little late, no?

After reading yesterday's headlines, everyone knows sensitive information is not safe in US hands as long as Trump is president.

7. It's confirmation

It's confirmation of what a lot of Israeli intelligence already suspected. Wouldn't be surprised if at least part of their intelligence community had already stopped sharing certain information. Now Netanyahu, that might be a different story.

13. Read something else

can't remember where, though. At the end of the article, it said that Netanyahu wanted Israeli intelligence to keep sharing because he thought, at some point, it would give him leverage over Trump to get concessions.

4. The most astonishing (and perhaps hopeful) thing is

that it is apparently the AMERICAN intelligence community that is warning the Israelis.
If our own intelligence community does not trust the president, I can't imagine how he could serve out a full term (at least not in the White House ).

5. "American counterpart"...

Not exactly the term I would use......"stooge", maybe? A few others come to mind...

6. Anyone could see this coming

Our allies will not be sharing as much intelligence with us

[dhill926]

8. so all this probably leads to a much greater chance of a terrorist attack...

on our soil. And we all know what happens then. This is sickening and frightening...

9. Good Job, moron... You pissed off the best foreign intel you have.

10. now because of trumps loose lips, I have to guess-IMO the leaked city was Moscow, & info was

Leaked city was Moscow, & info was Russias home grown & trained IS 'troops' and Russian government funded part of IS. Sunlei 5/2017

[moonscape]

12. I thought the leaked city was in Syria or Iraq n/t

11. Republicans want to move the US embassy to shit-stir violence in Israel. Don't let them Israel.
