President Donald Trump arrives in Israel Monday in the midst of political turmoil, following news that he revealed classified information to Russian officials.

The Israeli leg of the presidents trip abroad, his first since taking office, has also seen tension over shifting plans and diplomatic stumbles. Even Trumps arrival at the airport became a contentious event, as Israeli media reported Sunday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angrily commanded his ministers to attend Trumps welcome ceremony after learning many had planned to skip it.

The controversies around Trumps visit underscore a larger shift in how some Israel officials are viewing the new U.S. president. Since the inauguration, analysts say Trumps changing policies and vague statements have made him a more unreliable ally than many on the Israeli far right anticipated.

There is a sense of disappointment with Trump, because their knee-jerk reaction to his election was great, we dont have to worry about a Palestinian state, we dont have to worry about pressure on settlements and were going to have the American embassy in Jerusalem, Yossi Alpher, a former senior Israeli intelligence official, told HuffPost.

Its clear to them that this is not the case, and they are confused and disappointed.
