Mossad rejected an N12 report that said chief Roman Gofman had pushed out senior officials and that the agency was in turmoil, calling it biased and distorted. N12 reported on Sunday, citing interviews with 10 former senior members, that Gofman had fired as many as four top intelligence officials, including deputy director A., and that the comptroller and a division head intended to resign within the month. Mossad said the report recycles old allegations and artificially links unrelated events to manufacture a crisis, and it argued that the changes were a normal part of a new director taking office. The Jerusalem Post reported that Gofman believes the former leadership's plans for regime change cannot go forward as they were, and that he sees Iran as the most dynamic situation in decades and has no time to waste. N12 also said senior figures were concerned about civilian outsiders, some right-wing businesspeople close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attending highly classified forums, and that some had been involved in failed Gaza initiatives, including the GHF aid campaign and the humanitarian zone in Rafah. Mossad said external advisers are an accepted practice that has passed security clearance. N12 further reported that Gofman had increased efforts to look into arrangements for voluntary Palestinian migration from Gaza, including bringing back a former operative to find countries willing to receive Gazans.
