Netanyahu Appoints Guy Markizeno as Military Secretary After Mossad Reshuffle
- On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Brig.-Gen. Guy Markizeno as his military secretary, promoting him to replace Roman Gofman.
- Netanyahu's decision follows his move on Tuesday to appoint Gofman as Mossad director, a role the High Court cleared on Monday after the Prime Minister's Office delayed selecting a replacement.
- Markizeno previously commanded the 405th Artillery Battalion, the 209th Fire Support Brigade, and the 215th Artillery Brigade, while also serving as chief of staff for the IDF Northern Command.
- Markizeno's promotion may resolve an impasse between IDF Chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Katz over a staffing post, which Zamir has sought to fill since December 2025.
- Sources suggest Katz may now withdraw his veto against Polites, who previously served as commander of the elite Shayetet Navy SEAL unit.
