Israel has expressed growing concern over the possibility of a rapid nuclear agreement between the Trump administration and Iran, as well as the increasing influence of Arab leaders on President Trump's approach to Iran. Sources indicate that a recent Middle East trip revealed existing distance between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rather than bridging gaps. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is conducting a technical review of sanctions on Syria, expected to take several weeks, and is likely to issue important general licenses to facilitate reconstruction efforts in Syria. Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, have reportedly urged Trump not to lift sanctions on Syria, fearing it could lead to a repeat of the October 7 events.

Additionally, a former Netanyahu adviser told The New York Times that Netanyahu's relationship with Trump is different from his ties with previous U.S. presidents, with decisions often made without Netanyahu's knowledge, causing concern within Israel. These developments highlight tensions in U.S.-Israel relations amid shifting regional dynamics and U.S. policy adjustments in the Middle East.
