Mossad chief to brief Netanyahu on Iran intelligence after high-level CIA talks
Roman Gofman met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and senior US officials as Netanyahu pushes for strikes on Iran despite opposition from Gadi Eisenkot
Mossad chief Roman Gofman is expected to brief Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the cabinet soon after returning from the US, where he met with senior CIA officials.
Gofman returned from the US on Sunday afternoon after meeting senior US administration officials and CIA Director John Ratcliffe on the latest intelligence collected by Israel on Iran.
He is expected to brief the cabinet on the developments, followed by a personal briefing for Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has pushed for strikes on Iran in recent weeks, while much of the incoming opposition has resisted this push citing a lack of corresponding intelligence.
In particular, Gadi Eisenkot has opposed this, even after receiving a security briefing from Netanyahu on Thursday. Following the meeting, Eisenkot reiterated that he was opposed to military action without oversight, Axios reported.
