The Attorney General’s Office sends an urgent request to the High Court of Justice asking to send it information it has just learned relating to the petitions against Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman’s appointment as the next Mossad chief.
The High Court on Tuesday ordered a former brigadier general in military intelligence to file an affidavit to the court regarding what he knew about Gofman’s knowledge of a controversial social media influence operation carried out under Gofman’s authority as head of the IDF’s 210th Division in 2022.
Gofman is accused of unethical conduct during that incident and its aftermath and it is at the heart of the petitions against his appointment as head of the Mossad.
In an urgent request filed to the High Court this morning, the Attorney General’s Office says that after it filed a request to the IDF unit in question to obtain the officer’s affidavit, it learned information relevant to the case, which it says should have been presented to the court by Gofman himself.
The Attorney General’s Office asks to submit this information to the court in a confidential manner.
“The entire point of the update notice that is being requested to be submitted is the information that Maj. Gen. Gofman should have brought before the court during the course of the hearing,” the Attorney General’s Office says.
