Attorney-General Seeks to Block Gofman Appointment Over Ori Elmakayes Affair

Israel's Attorney-General has asked the High Court to block Gofman’s appointment, despite renewed committee approval. The petitions challenge the appointment over the Ori Elmakayes affair, which centers on claims that Elmakayes, then a minor, was used by the IDF in 2022 as part of an influence effort under Gofman.
