Shin Bet Chief Holds Secret FBI Talks in Washington
(MENAFN) The director of Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency made an undisclosed trip to Washington for discussions with senior FBI officials on unspecified sensitive matters, according to Israeli media reports Monday.
Israeli media reported that David Zini traveled to the US capital to meet with his FBI counterparts. Citing an unnamed source, the outlet said the discussions would touch on "sensitive issues," though no further specifics were disclosed.
Neither the Israeli nor US government has publicly confirmed the visit.
The undisclosed trip follows closely on the heels of another security scare: Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was rushed out of the United States in response to what Israel's public broadcaster called a "significant threat."
According to the broadcaster's Saturday report, the Shin Bet verified the threat and directed his immediate return to Israel.
The developments unfold against a backdrop of escalating regional tension. On Sunday, US forces struck two Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island, near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, killing two people and wounding two others, Iranian media reported. Iran subsequently claimed retaliatory strikes on facilities used by American forces in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
