The head of Israel\u2019s Shin Bet security agency secretly traveled to Washington for talks with FBI officials on \u201csensitive issues,\u201d Israeli media reported Monday.<\/p>\n
Channel 13 said David Zini left for the US capital for meetings with his counterparts at the FBI.<\/p>\n
An unnamed source told the broadcaster that the talks would involve \u201csensitive issues,\u201d without providing further details.<\/p>\n
Neither Israel nor the US has announced the visit.<\/p>\n
The trip comes days after Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was urgently evacuated from the US over what Israel\u2019s public broadcaster KAN described as a \u201csignificant threat.\u201d<\/p>\n
KAN said Saturday that Shin Bet confirmed the threat and ordered his immediate return to Israel.<\/p>\n

Iran later announced retaliatory attacks on sites used by US forces in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tarek Chouiref 01 September 2026\u2022Update: 01 September 2026 The head of Israel\u2019s Shin Bet security agency secretly traveled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43,180804],"class_list":["post-602233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-sitekeywords"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
