The opening as it read in 2025
National Security Council ( NSC ) ( Hebrew : המטה לביטחון לאומי HaMateh leBitachon Leumi ) is Israel's central body for coordination, integration, analysis and monitoring in the field of national security and is the staff forum on national security for the Israeli Prime Minister and Government. However, national security decisions typically made by national security councils in other countries are handled by the Security Cabinet . The Council draws its authority from the government and operates according to guidelines from the Prime Minister. The NSC was established in 1999 by the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following Government Resolution 4889, in the framework of drawing lessons from the Yom Kippur War . Its responsibilities were anchored in law starting in July 2008, partly as a response to the Second Lebanon War .
