JAKARTA - The Israeli High Court (PT) gave the green light for the appointment of Major General Roman Gofman as the new head of the Israeli intelligence agency alias Mossad on Monday, June 1.
The permission was granted to appoint Gofman after PT Israel rejected two petitions against the appointment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's military secretary since December 2025.
"There is no blemish in his integrity," said a statement from PT Israel, quoted by AFP.
This attitude is in contrast to the decision of the Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
On May 10, Miara sent a letter to the court detailing her opposition to Gofman's appointment.
He accused Gofman of failing to act in 2022, when an Israeli teenager was arrested for espionage who had actually been recruited covertly by the military at Gofman's request.
According to the attorney general's letter, the military officer who acted "at the request of Gofman" recruited 17-year-old Uri Elmakiyes outside any legal framework to carry out online "information gathering and influence" operations with enemy citizens, especially Syria.
Not realizing that the teenager was acting on behalf of the military, Israel's internal security agency Shin Bet arrested and held him in solitary confinement for nearly two months before transferring him to house arrest for more than a year.
The prosecutor finally withdrew all charges against Elmakiyes, after the investigation.
