Before being nominated for the Mossad position he became the Military Secretary for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Roman Gofman has previously written a document stating that Israel should establish a military government in the Gaza Strip, and has criticised the IDF's reluctance to send ground forces into Gaza, and instead relying on air power.
