Citing three sources familiar with the matter, the report said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dispatched Gofman to convey Israel's position on the importance of renewed military action against Tehran.
According to Axios, Gofman met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Friday and is expected to travel to Miami for talks with US special envoy Steve Witkoff. Witkoff recently returned from Moscow, where he and fellow envoy Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of efforts to secure a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Meanwhile, Ynet reported Saturday that neither Israeli nor American intelligence agencies currently possess information indicating that Iran has a weapon or other capability posing an existential threat to Israel. According to the report, intelligence officials also have no evidence that Tehran is actively developing or producing such a weapon or capability.
