Attorney-General Challenges Gofman's Mossad Appointment Over Past Allegations
The Attorney-General of Israel, Gali Baharav-Miara, has requested the High Court of Justice to block the appointment of Maj.-Gen. Roman Gofman as the new head of Mossad. This request comes despite the Advisory Committee for Senior Appointments' renewed approval of Gofman. The controversy centers around the Ori Elmakayes affair, where Elmakayes, a minor at the time, was allegedly used by IDF Division 210, commanded by Gofman, in an influence operation. Elmakayes was later arrested and indicted, but the charges were dropped after it was revealed he was operated by the division. The High Court had previously ordered a review of the committee's decision due to a lack of relevant documents and testimonies. Despite the committee's majority finding no integrity issues with Gofman's appointment, the Attorney-General argues that Gofman failed to disclose critical information about the division's operations, which could have impacted the investigation and Elmakayes's rights.
