US media: Trump-Netanyahu contacts have fallen sharply - $QQQ $SPY $USO Politico reports that after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, Israeli officials briefly viewed the alliance as entering a 'golden era' but four months later are preparing for greater isolation. U.S. Vice President Vance told Israel last week it 'has almost no friends' and warned it not to attack its only remaining powerful ally. Seven sources, including U.S. and Israeli officials, said Vance's remarks reflect a new normal in which Israel's status no longer receives priority treatment from Washington. Tensions are visible: one source said Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Washington five times in 2025 but has made only one trip this year, in February, and phone contact has fallen sharply.
