If executed properly, this new body could potentially help save Israel from future disasters like October 7. The latest idea being pushed by MK Amit Halevi on behalf of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to create a new intelligence advisor and staff within the prime minister's office who answers directly to the premier and is separated from the three big intelligence services: IDF, Shin Bet, and Mossad. Some former intelligence officials told the Jerusalem Post that this new position would differ from the NSC. They said the NSC has too many responsibilities in foreign affairs, diplomacy, and security, where analyzing intelligence is just a small piece and can easily fall by the wayside. Moreover, they told the Post that the NSC almost never looks at the raw intelligence at issue to make its own full informed potential separate judgment on the significance of gathered intelligence.
