Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed his military secretary, Major General Roman Gofman, as the next Director of the Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, Mossad, following approval from the advisory committee on senior appointments.
In a social media post, Netanyahu praised Gofman’s credentials, describing him as an outstanding officer, adding that he had demonstrated “impressive resourcefulness” and an ability to think outside the box, particularly during the ongoing war. According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, Gofman is set to assume office on July 2, 2026, for a five-year term. The appointment comes at a critical time for Israel’s intelligence and security apparatus, with ongoing regional tensions and evolving security challenges.
