The High Court of Justice has authorized Gali Baharav-Miara to submit an update she requested to submit to the petitions against the appointment of Roman Gofman as head of the Mossad.
However, the judges emphasized that "the announcement will not include a change of face or addition to the position presented" and requested that "the confidential announcement be accompanied, if possible, by an open paraphrase.".
After the judges received the confidential message that the Rabbi insisted on delivering in the petitions against the appointment of Roman Goffman, they ruled: "Nothing in the confidential message can change the decisions that have been made to date.".

Earlier, Bahar-Miara demanded that "sensitive and new information" that had come to her hand be presented, which she claimed was a legal obligation to present to the judges before a decision was made regarding the appointment.
The background to the appeal is the High Court of Justice's decision from last week, which determined that Brigadier General G., who served as head of the operations division at the Military Intelligence Directorate, will be required to submit an affidavit regarding the operation of the teenager Uri Al-Makiis.
According to the claims in the petition, Goffman had a telephone conversation with Brigadier General G. on this subject while he was serving as a division commander in the Northern Command.
According to the Attorney General's announcement, when the Deputy Attorney General, Gil Limon, contacted the legal advisor of the security body where Brigadier General G currently serves to coordinate the collection of the affidavit, new and substantial information was revealed.
The announcement stated in sharp and unusual language that "on the face of it, the respondent (the state/Goffman) had an obligation to bring it himself" to the court's attention even earlier.
This is an insinuation that elements in the security establishment or the government concealed relevant information from the judges during the hearings in the petition.
