Mossad Director Roman Gofman is in the United States for talks with senior Trump administration officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, according to confirmation from both Israeli and American sources reported by Walla, Times of Israel, and Jerusalem Post.

The visit comes at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s behest, with Gofman tasked with persuading Trump administration officials to resume broader military operations against Iran, according to Axios reporting cited by Ynet. This represents a significant diplomatic push by Israel’s leadership to shape US Middle East policy under the new Trump administration.

The timing of the high-level intelligence chief’s visit underscores Netanyahu’s ongoing efforts to escalate confrontation with Iran, even as regional tensions remain elevated following recent military exchanges between Israel and Iranian forces.
