Snippet:
A new High Court petition filed on Sunday seeks to block IDF Maj.-Gen. Roman Gofman’s appointment as the next head of the Mossad, arguing that serious flaws in both the vetting process and the underlying conduct attributed to him in the Ori Elmakayes affair should have disqualified him from one of Israel’s most sensitive security posts.
