Mossad chief urges Trump
Israeli Mossad chief Roman Gofman is visiting Washington to meet officials in Donald Trump’s administration, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and later U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. The visit is an effort to persuade Washington to resume the war against Iran, amid pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the military option back to the fore. Trump favors continuing to pressure Tehran through naval restrictions and economic sanctions while keeping the door open to an agreement, reflecting a difference of opinion with Netanyahu. The visit comes amid a political crisis in Israel after Netanyahu lost his parliamentary majority following the October 27 elections. His opponents fear that a military escalation could hinder the formation of a new government, while his rival Gadi Eisenkot does not believe the circumstances warrant an immediate attack.
