-Gen. Roman Gofman should be disqualified from serving as the next head of the Mossad. Baharav-Miara argued that the Advisory Committee for Senior Appointments relied on an incomplete picture when it accepted Gofman’s explanation of his past conduct.
The attorney general submitted the position in a formal filing to the court. The development follows the committee's earlier approval of Gofman for the role. No immediate response from the committee or from Gofman was detailed in the filing.
Background on the Appointment Process The Advisory Committee for Senior Appointments reviewed Gofman’s record before clearing him for the Mossad position. Baharav-Miara’s submission contends that the committee did not have a full account of his past conduct when it made that decision.
Gofman currently holds the rank of major-general in the Israeli military. A photograph from December 2025 shows him attending a ceremony marking the lighting of the first Hanukkah candle of the 7th Armored Brigade at the National Library in Jerusalem.
