Why and how was the Mossad chief dismissed in the midst of a war with Iran?

1. The general context of the changes at the head of Mossad

The appointment of Roman Goffman as the new Mossad chief is a continuation of the changes after the failure of October 7, 2023.

 

2. The wound of October 7 and the collapse of intelligence credibility

Israeli intelligence agencies failed to predict the Al-Aqsa storm.

 

3. The process of victimizing intelligence directors

Netanyahu blamed the heads of security agencies to escape responsibility.

 

4. Strategic errors in assessing Iran and the resistance

Mossad's estimates of Iran's internal collapse and the support of the people were completely incorrect.

 

5. Linking the changes to Netanyahu's political goals

The changes at the head of Mossad are part of a project to concentrate power in the hands of the prime minister.

 

6. Goffman's appointment; a symbol of the politicization of intelligence

Goffman lacks intelligence experience and is close to Netanyahu's circle.

 

7. Strategic consequences

Weakening the intelligence structure and increasing politicization in the Israeli security apparatus.

 

8. Conclusion

The change of the Mossad chief is not a corrective measure, but Netanyahu's political project to control the security institutions.
