The Roman Gofman affair has once again revealed the disturbing reality: Israel’s Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and senior legal officials attempted to torpedo Netanyahu’s appointment of Major General Roman Gofman as Mossad chief using questionable methods and a dramatically overstated affidavit. When the evidence finally came out, the entire case collapsed. This is not an isolated incident. For years, powerful forces within Israel’s legal establishment, including the Attorney General, State Prosecutor, and Supreme Court, have systematically blocked appointments, obstructed government policies, and worked against Netanyahu and his right-wing governments trying to strengthen Israel’s security and Jewish identity.
