Doctor Accused of Sexual Offenses Threatens Patient With Cancer

Dr. Guy Rofer, whose medical license was suspended and who faces charges of sexual offenses, sent an email to Mirit Rosenbaum offering her medical guides he authored. Rosenbaum questioned how he obtained her email address and pointed out that his license had been suspended. In response, Rofer sent a virulent reply, stating, "I hope you are diagnosed with cancer this year, when it happens, you will know it is from me." He also called her "stupid, lonely, and miserable."

Rofer, a gynecologist, is accused of defrauding and committing indecent acts against a female soldier by exploiting the trust placed in him as a doctor. His appeal against the suspension of his medical license was rejected in November 2025, leaving the suspension in effect. The court had previously noted that Rofer continued to advertise himself as a gynecology specialist on social media and schedule appointments even after being instructed not to, stating that a doctor whose license is suspended cannot continue to present themselves as licensed.

Rosenbaum, identifying herself as an "Israeli fertility patient," had initially responded to Rofer's unsolicited email by asking how he got her address and noting his suspended license due to criminal matters, including sexual offenses against patients. She sarcastically asked if he had written a book titled 'The Israeli Guide to Sexual Offenses Against Fertility Patients.'

Rofer's detention was extended as part of the ongoing investigation into the sexual offense allegations. During periods of license suspension, Rofer reportedly continued his social media activities, including providing advice, and responded to critics by stating, "You tried to silence me, I'm just turning up the volume… I am stronger than all of you together."
