Steinitz on the incoming Mossad chief: "There is no one more worthy"

Rafael Chairman and former minister, Yuval Steinitz, addressed today the appointment of the incoming Mossad chief, Gofman, and praised his personal and professional skills. In an interview with the 103FM radio station, Steinitz emphasized that the chosen candidate is the most suitable figure for this sensitive position.

According to a report by Kol HaHadashot on 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼 and Moment of News - Military and Security on Telegram, Steinitz said: "Based on personal acquaintance with Gofman, I think there is no one more worthy than him. It is hard for me to think of anyone more brave, creative, intellectually daring, and possessing a broad education who is more suitable for the position than him."

In addition, Steinitz spoke out against the public criticism leveled at the appointment in recent times. As noted on the Mivzakey Bitachon 24/7 channel, the former minister wondered about the essence of the controversy: "We need to ask ourselves what the commotion of the last month was about."

Steinitz's words reflect a supportive approach to the security establishment and professional appointments in the senior ranks of the intelligence community, while attempting to calm the waters surrounding the controversial appointment that has been at the center of public discourse over the last month.
