Israel's Political-Security Cabinet convened on Sunday to discuss the "Barrel Reversal" plan for the West Bank and the Chief of Staff's strategies for dealing with potential security escalation in the region. The meeting, which had been postponed multiple times, took place amid pressure from ministers demanding progress on the issue and a presentation of the military's preparedness for various scenarios.
The "Barrel Reversal" plan is central to the discussion, alongside operational plans developed by the Chief of Staff for situations requiring IDF action in the West Bank. Concurrently, Mossad Chief Roman Gofman returned to Israel on Sunday afternoon from a special visit to the United States. During his trip, Gofman held meetings with senior U.S. administration officials and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
In these meetings, Gofman presented Israel's latest intelligence on Iran, including recent developments and information gathered about its activities. Gofman's visit, described as being among Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's close confidants, occurs against the backdrop of Netanyahu's pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump to resume action against Iran. According to reports, Trump has so far rejected the Prime Minister's demand for renewed military action. The two leaders discussed the war in a phone call on November 5, an American source stated.
Gofman is expected to attend the Political-Security Cabinet meeting to update ministers on the details of his visit and the information conveyed to American officials.
