- Roman Gofman, the new head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency, is reportedly planning to transform the organisation and adopt new strategies to topple the Iranian government.
- Gofman's approach differs from his predecessor David Barnea, whose methods, including social media campaigns and involving Kurds, Gofman reportedly views as having failed.
- Taking office on 2 June, Gofman is the first "outsider" to lead Mossad since 2011, having previously served as Benjamin Netanyahu’s military secretary.
- A recent poll revealed that 92 per cent of Israelis believe Iran has "won the war," with 82.9 per cent feeling the military campaign weakened Israel’s long-term security.
- A US-Israeli strike on 28 February killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was replaced by his son, with the US administration entering negotiations with Iran on its nuclear programme.
