The website Axios reported on Friday, November 13, citing three knowledgeable sources, that Roman Goffman, head of the Mossad intelligence agency and a relative of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, traveled to Washington to speak with senior US government officials about the Iran war.
🔸 According to this report, Goffman will meet with John Ratcliffe, the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency, and it is possible that he will also travel to Miami to talk with Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of the White House.
This trip was made while Netanyahu is pressuring Donald Trump to renew the war against Iran, but the US president has so far rejected this request and instead, with the support of Arab countries bordering the Persian Gulf, has preferred to continue the naval blockade and economic pressure on the Islamic Republic. Axios also reported that after the Israeli elections on October 27 and Netanyahu's loss of majority in parliament, his opponents are worried that the prime minister will disrupt Gadi Eisenkot's efforts to form a new government through a ground attack on Iran or by provoking Tehran to take retaliatory actions.
