Mossad Director Roman Gofman returned to Israel on Sunday from a visit to Washington. He is expected to brief the security cabinet that evening on his talks with senior US officials.

According to Srugim, Gofman met senior members of the US administration and the director of the CIA during the trip and updated them on the intelligence Israel holds on Iran.

Ynet reporter Yossi Yehoshua reported that Gofman will attend Sunday evening's meeting of the security cabinet, the forum of senior ministers that oversees Israel's defense and diplomatic policy, and will update the ministers on his meetings in the United States. Later in the evening, he is set to give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a personal briefing.

Sunday's session is the first security cabinet meeting in more than a month. The last one was held on October 4, while Israel was in the midst of an election campaign. At that meeting, ministers decided "to increase readiness for various scenarios in Iran, including an Israeli strike, an Iranian surprise attack and similar possibilities."
