Netanyahu and Gopman Set the Mossad on Fire: 'There Is Madness and Enormous Turmoil Right Now'

Sources in the Mossad accuse Netanyahu and Mossad chief Gopman of a 'cowardly' decision to dismiss Gopman, intended to shift blame for the failure of the Iran operation. They claim the plan did not fail but was not approved by Trump, and that responsibility for approval lay with the prime minister and Gopman as military secretary. A former source said Gopman previously supported the plan and now opposes it.

Sources in the Mossad claim that the dismissal decided by Roman Gopman was intended to shift blame for the failure of the Iran operation, and they accuse Netanyahu and the Mossad chief of a 'cowardly' decision meant to serve political considerations. A Mossad source told an associate: 'There is madness and enormous turmoil right now in the Mossad, a feeling of a cowardly decision meant to serve the boss in the elections. The plan did not fail; the plan was not carried out because it did not receive Trump's approval. Those responsible for obtaining approval are the prime minister and the then military secretary Gopman, who fully supported the plan.' Another source told an associate: 'Obtaining approval from the US president to carry out a Mossad operation is solely in the hands of the prime minister. This is a cowardly act, a failure to back the organization's people who have given their lives for many years for Israel's security.' A former organization source said that military secretary Major General Roman Gopman acted and supported the Mossad plan, but now Mossad chief Roman Gopman is coming out against the plan he supported and promoted. The article does not include a response from Netanyahu or Gopman.
