Axios, citing three people familiar with the matter, reported Mossad director
Roman Gofman was in Washington on Friday for talks with senior Trump
administration officials about a war with Iran. Gofman is described as one of
caretaker Prime Minister Netanyahu’s closest confidants; Netanyahu has been
pressing President Trump to restart hostilities with Iran. Sources said Gofman
will meet CIA director John Ratcliffe and is expected to travel to Miami to meet
US Middle East envoy Witkoff. Mossad, the CIA and the White House declined to
comment. Axios said Trump has so far rejected Netanyahu’s push to return to
fighting; a US official said the two discussed an Iran war on their November 5
call.
