The Supreme Court justices ordered Attorney Gali Baharav-Miara to forward "without delay" the secret affidavit of Brigadier General G. for review by those with the appropriate classification - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his military secretary Roman Goffman.

"The "confidential affidavit" was submitted as part of the petitions against the appointment of Major General Roman Gofman as head of the Mossad.
This is an affidavit by Brigadier General G., former head of the Operations Division at the Military Intelligence Directorate, dealing with the case of the operation of the boy Uri Al-Makis while he was a minor.
Last night, Bahar-Miara updated that the affidavit was signed before a lawyer from the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office and classified as "top secret" - and refused to have it forwarded to the Prime Minister.
At the same time, she requested to submit to the court once again the letter from outgoing Mossad head Dedi Barnea, even though a previous request on the subject had already been rejected by the judges.
This led to a sharp reaction from Netanyahu, who said that it was impossible for any document to be confidential to him.
The High Court judges added that after the document is forwarded, a decision will be made on the continuation of the case, which concerns Goffman's appointment as head of the Mossad.
According to a report by Avishai Greenzig, legal commentator for Channel I24, the affidavit collected by the legal advisory system from Brigadier General G., who currently serves in the Mossad and previously served in the IDF, fully supports the version of the designated Mossad head.
Although Brigadier General G. testified in the case in real time, the High Court ordered the collection of an affidavit due to petitions against Goffman's appointment as head of the Mossad.
