Israel has acknowledged for the first time that it expects a confrontation with the Trump administration, according to a report in Israel Hayom on Monday. The admission, citing unnamed Israeli officials, signals a hardening of Jerusalem's stance toward Washington.
The Zioneer has previously reported on tensions between the two allies over issues including Iran policy and the Lebanon front. The admission marks a shift in tone from earlier Israeli efforts to downplay disagreements with the Trump administration.
The report does not specify the nature of the expected confrontation or its timeline. The statement comes amid a broader diplomatic rift that has been building in recent weeks.
