Gofman Ruling: Court unanimously rejected the Attorney General's position

In a dramatic ruling published on June 1, 2026, the court unanimously rejected the position of the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, who had called for the disqualification of Major General Gofman's candidacy. According to Avishai Grinzaig - Updates, Baharav-Miara took an especially strict line, which exceeded even other critical positions presented during the proceeding.

The judges clarified in the ruling that there is no evidence indicating lies or abandonment on the part of the Major General. In a further report, Grinzaig notes that Judge Grosskopf determined that the accusations against Gofman are "incorrect and even do him an injustice," while Judge Stein emphasized that between the Major General's actions and the claims regarding the violation of the principle of not abandoning the wounded, "there is absolutely nothing."

Judge Barak-Erez, who believed there was room to delve deeper into the examination, also explicitly noted that at this stage there is no evidence to cast aspersions on Major General Gofman. Avishai Grinzaig - Updates concludes that the claims of lying or abandonment were proven to be a "complete fake."
