The Times reports on the row between Israel and US over whether the US Embassy should be moved to Jerusalem, noting that Prime Minister Netanyahu has denied claims that he privately urged President Donald Trump not to move the embassy despite supporting the proposal in public.

The Times features an article by Roger Boyes that asserts President Trump must forge closer ties with Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia must overcome its phobia about cooperating with Israel, if Iranian nuclear ambitions are to be checked.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Israel is standing by the US after it has been revealed that Tel Aviv was the source of the classified information President Trump disclosed to Russian diplomats last week. Israel’s ambassador to the US Ron Dermer said that Israel “had full confidence in our intelligence sharing relationship with the US”, and looked forward to “deepening that relationship in the years ahead”.

The i reports that Israeli Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis has cancelled a trip to attend the launch of the particle accelerator Sesame in Jordan, citing the Jordanian response to a stabbing attack by a Jordanian citizen on a police officer in Jerusalem on Saturday that cast blame on Israel instead of apologising. Akunis said: “The scientific project is important… but standing up for the truth is more important than anything.”

Israel media is dominated by both the upcoming Presidential visit and the latest revelation that it was Israeli intelligence that was exposed in the meeting between President Trump and the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Yediot Ahronot includes an  unnamed security source that suggests Israel will need to reevaluate what information they should be sharing with the US in the future. The paper also reminds readers that they had warned of the possibility of information being compromised back in January, even before the President was sworn in. Maariv notes the highly cautious response from Israeli officials, who have not made any comments related to the revelations. In addition, the paper suggests Trump did not share out of malice, but more due to his lack of understanding of the rules of the game.

Israel Hayom includes an interview with the new US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. Regarding the President’s plans for the peace process, the Ambassador assessed that President Trump would arrive “without a specific political plan or a road map in hand” adding, “there is no demand from Israel to freeze construction in the settlements”. In fact, regarding the building of a new settlement, Ambassador Friedman said that  “the president is aware of the fact that the Israeli government needs to find an alternative site for the evacuees from Amona. Even in the summary of the conversation that the president had with Abu Mazen I didn’t see that he said anything on the issue of the settlements”.

Maariv suggests as part of a normalisation with the Arab world, Arab states would permit Israeli planes to use their airspace.  Haaretz notes the price of this would be a settlement freeze. Meanwhile Israel Hayom reports that Yesha council representing the settlers requested a meeting with President Trump to present their perspective. The request was denied.

Maariv reports that former Defence Minister Ya’alon gave evidence to the police on the submarine affair.  He also said that if there were no indictments, then he would share all the information he had publicly.

Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom report on the State Comptroller’s criticism of Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel from Jewish Home who allegedly transferred millions of shekels from public funds to his associates.
