MKs push bill to create new intelligence oversight body under Netanyahu

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation is set to discuss a bill that would establish a new intelligence oversight body under the authority of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The bill aims to create a unit that would report directly to Netanyahu and have the authority to demand intelligence information from various intelligence bodies in Israel. The unit would be responsible for synthesizing and analyzing the information and providing alternate perspectives on security challenges. The head of the unit would be required to weigh in on any issue brought before the security cabinet. The debate on the bill comes amid an ongoing investigation into the alleged theft of classified intelligence documents from IDF databases.
