NYT: Netanyahu reduced intel-sharing with US on Iran when Biden took office
[IsraelTimes] Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu scaled back Israel’s intelligence-sharing with the United States when President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan...
took office, according to a New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

report.
According to the report, the US is increasingly dependent on Israeli intelligence on Iran’s nuclear program, as Tehran has effectively cracked down on the American spy network in the country.

But Israel, American and Israeli officials say, has withheld information to prevent the US government from curtailing its covert military operations to obstruct Iran’s nuclear program. This was the case with the strike on the Natanz nuclear plant in Iran, attributed to Israel in April, when the White House was given two hours’ notice of the plan, the report says.

The report says Netanyahu’s distrust for Biden was the reason for the policy change. Some Israeli officials quoted in the report say the move was over fears Washington would leak the information, as US administrations did with other operations. American officials deny the charge.
Jahn F'n Karry comes to mind
According to the report, former Mossad intelligence chief Yossi Cohen tried to patch up the relationship two weeks after the Natanz bombing, meeting Biden and CIA officials in Washington to discuss the issue. He was given a warm reception, the report says.

Wise move, Very Wise Move.
Given all the Anti-Semitic commentary and actions coming out of members of the US Socialist-Democrat Party and their Radical groups that they have yet to disavow (Anti-FA/BLM etc).

Iron dome tested in combat. Dynetics owns a senator - no context.
