Yossi Cohen, former director of Mossad, stated at a New York conference that he does not plan to run in the upcoming election. Cohen reflected on past comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who once suggested Cohen could be his successor. Cohen recalled that Netanyahu made the remark while Cohen was still leading Mossad, but emphasized that his wife was firmly against the idea. For now, Cohen has decided not to enter the political race, leaving his future plans open.
