Mossad chief visits US as Netanyahu presses Trump to resume Iran strikes: Report

14-Nov-2026

.

Mossad head Roman Gofman is in Washington to discuss Iran with Trump officials amid tensions between Prime Minister Netanyahu, who urges renewed military action against Iran, and President Trump, who favours continued economic pressure. 

Netanyahu's political struggles complicate Israel's stance, as rival Gadi Eisenkot opposes immediate strikes. Gulf states back Trump's cautious approach. 

The discord follows setbacks for Netanyahu in Israel's elections and Trump in US midterms, with Gofman's visit critical for potential shifts in US-Israel Iran policy.
