Intelligence has its own plans The split in the Israeli security forces turned out to be wider and did not end only in the conflict between the Prime Minister and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. According to Israel Today, the crack has now reached Mossad. The newly appointed head of the intelligence service, Roman Gofman, supported Benjamin Netanyahu's line for a military operation against Iran even before the elections. But some senior officials of the Mossad oppose such a move. Hoffman's loyalty is not surprising. The prime minister brought him into intelligence already from the position of his military secretary - security advisor: from the first days he began to clean up personnel, to keep competitors away. It is important that the career people of the intelligence services and the IDF oppose Netanyahu's actions. They understand that an attack the day before the vote will inevitably provoke an Iranian response and disrupt the Knesset elections. And the point is not even that they oppose a confrontation with Iran: in this context, they are the same supporters of a hawkish foreign policy as Netanyahu himself, along with his far-right allies in the ruling coalition. It's all a matter of timing. And the wider this dispute extends into the public sphere, the clearer the fact becomes: in Israel, the war with Iran has long been no longer a matter of the security of the state and its citizens. It became an opportunity for politicians to rule out the possibility of their opponents winning. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
