Mossad, Shin Bet heads brief Trump team
Israel’s top security officiials were sent to New York last week by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to brief US President-elect Donald Trump transition team on where the Israeli government stands on current Middle East affairs, including Iran’s nuclear program, the crisis in Syria, terror threats and the Palestinian issue.
It was led by the Mossad Director Yossi Cohen and National Security Council adviser Yaakov Nagel. Israel’s ambassador Ron Dermer joined the meeting.
