A controversial bill has been advanced in the Knesset to create a separate intelligence advisor within the prime minister's office who is not affiliated with the IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet. The bill aims to address gaps in intelligence that contributed to the October 7 invasion by Hamas, but there is debate over whether it is a genuine solution or a political move. The proposed intelligence czar would provide opposing views to the prime minister without concerns about promotions or future work with the big three intelligence agencies. Critics argue that the role overlaps with the national security council chief and could lead to bureaucratic conflicts.
