What Gazit submitted to the Prime Minister
His signed covering letter lists three annexes. Annex A surveys the US National Security Council using material from the embassy in Washington. Annex B proposes an Israeli national security staff unit. Annex C discusses competing intelligence assessments. The signature establishes Gazit’s submission of the material, without establishing his sole authorship of the annexes.
Annex B · PDF pp. 9–11
A small team to prepare alternatives
The proposed unit would be headed by a director-general-level adviser to the Prime Minister, with about six senior staff and five to ten other employees. It would integrate information, identify gaps, require departmental alternatives, initiate studies spanning ministries and seek outside judgment. The adviser would report directly to the Prime Minister.
Annex B · PDF pp. 10–11
The staff unit’s boundaries
Routine monitoring of government decisions would remain with existing bodies. The unit could flag departures and failures discovered in its work. Intelligence assessments and warnings would expressly remain the intelligence community’s responsibility; the unit could also request raw information and help update the material before the Prime Minister.
Annex C · PDF pp. 2–3
A separate option for further intelligence review
Annex C separately considers a committee chaired by the national security adviser, with ministry representatives, the heads of Mossad and Military Intelligence, and special advisers. It could combine further intelligence review, warning and crisis action. This is an option for consideration, distinct from the staff unit’s duties in Annex B.
