Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held his first working meeting with Mossad Director Roman Gofman at the agency's headquarters Wednesday evening, according to an official Prime Minister's Office readout. The meeting follows Gofman's appointment several weeks ago and a series of leadership changes within the Mossad.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held his first working meeting with Mossad Director Roman Gofman at the agency's headquarters on Wednesday evening, June 17. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the meeting, which marks the initial formal working session between the two since Gofman assumed office. The meeting's agenda was not disclosed in the official readout.
The meeting comes amid a significant leadership overhaul at the Mossad. As The Zioneer reported on June 6, Gofman dismissed a senior deputy days into his tenure, ending a 22-year career of a decorated veteran. Days later, on June 11, Gofman appointed a deputy identified only as 'A', a move approved by Netanyahu. Wednesday's meeting may signal further strategic direction from the political echelon following these internal changes.
No details on operational discussions were released, and the Mossad did not issue a separate statement. The meeting is part of routine liaison between the prime minister and the intelligence chief, though its timing — at the agency's HQ, rather than the Prime Minister's Office — underscores the early coordination phase of the new directorship.
