According to Channel 14 Israel, Mossad Chief Roman Gofman is in the United States for a series of sensitive security and political meetings with officials of the Donald Trump administration. Based on a report by the 'Axios' website citing three informed sources, Gofman, considered a close confidant of Benjamin Netanyahu, was sent to Washington to convey the Israeli message regarding the importance of resuming military operations against Iran. According to the report, Gofman met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and has scheduled meetings with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House special envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami. These consultations occur amid disagreements between Jerusalem and Washington regarding how to address the Iranian threat. US sources state that Trump has so far resisted Netanyahu's pressure to resume hostilities, with the White House preferring to focus on economic pressure and a maritime blockade against Tehran for now. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office, the Mossad, the White House, and the CIA have declined to comment on these reports.
