Mossad Director Nominee's Proposal for Nuclear Arms Transfer Raises Concerns
Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman, recently appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the next Mossad director, has sparked controversy with a past academic proposal suggesting the transfer of nuclear weapons to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. This idea, outlined in a paper titled 'Yesterday’s Doomsday,' was part of Gofman's studies at the National Security College in 2019. The proposal envisions a strategic shift in response to Iran's nuclear advancements, suggesting that arming these Middle Eastern countries could create a new strategic balance. The paper, although hypothetical, reflects Gofman's unconventional strategic thinking, which has raised eyebrows due to its departure from traditional Israeli security doctrines.
