<p>National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir welcomed the appointment of Roman Gofman as the next Director of the Mossad.</p><p>“I know Major General Roman Gofman well from his role as Military Secretary to the Prime Minister. He is a sharp, highly professional, and multi-talented individual with strategic thinking and exceptional execution skills. Since October 7, we have spent hundreds of hours together in the closed rooms of decision-makers – and there I saw up close his determination, sensitivity, and professionalism in every step. Roman brings with him a rare combination of composure, responsibility, and a deep understanding of Israel’s security challenges.”</p><p>Roman immigrated to Israel, fought for the country, and was even wounded on October 7. When you look at him, you see true Zionism, deep commitment, and a great love for the State of Israel. In recent months, I have repeatedly been exposed to his quiet yet significant work for the security of the state and the people of Israel. I am confident that he will fulfill his role as Director of the Mossad in the best possible way. Wishing you great success, Roman – the entire people of Israel stand behind you,” said Ben Gvir.</p> | Read More in News from Israel
