Netanyahu to Appoint Military Secretary Roman Gofman as Next Mossad Chief
According to reports, Netanyahu’s office confirmed that an advisory committee responsible for senior security appointments—chaired by former Supreme Court President Asher Grunis—has approved Gofman’s nomination.
Following this approval, Netanyahu officially signed the appointment order designating Gofman as the incoming Mossad director. He is expected to assume the role on June 2, 2026, serving a five-year term, according to a statement cited by Israeli media.
Gofman currently holds the position of military secretary to the prime minister, a role that places him close to Israel’s top-level security decision-making. His appointment positions him to succeed outgoing Mossad chief David Barnea.
The transition marks a significant leadership change within Israel’s intelligence establishment, as Gofman is set to take control of one of the country’s most sensitive and influential security institutions.
