The Senior Appointments Advisory Committee on Tuesday re-approved the appointment of Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman as the next head of the Mossad, after it interviewed two key figures at the heart of a controversial affair Gofman was involved in during his service as commander of the IDF’s 210th Division in 2022.

Three of the committee members were of the opinion that Gofman’s appointment should go ahead, while committee chair, retired Supreme Court president Asher Grunis, dissented, saying that the incident in question needed further clarification.

The renewed deliberations by the advisory committee were held at the request of the High Court of Justice following a hearing on petitions against Gofman’s appointment, which argued that he had lied about the affair, which constituted a violation of the ethical code of conduct for senior officials.
