Incoming Mossad chief accuses Attorney General of acting in bad faith
Incoming Mossad chief Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman rejects claims raised by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, accusing her of omitting key facts in petitions against his appointment.
Assessment
A public clash between Israel's next Mossad director and the Attorney General threatens to undermine the transition of power at the intelligence agency. Gofman's accusation of bad faith suggests deep institutional friction before he even assumes office. The coming weeks will show whether this dispute delays his appointment or damages working relations between the Mossad and the Justice Ministry.
