National Security Council (NSC) Chairman Ilan Mizrahi announced his intention to resign from the NSC by November 1, 2007, according to Israeli National News. His deputy, Itamar Ya'ar, is expected to follow suit in December.
Mizrahi was involved in the implementation of the Winograd Commission's interim report, which investigated the failures in last year's war with the Hezbullah. The Commission recommended that the NSC play a more crucial role in the government's decision-making process.
However, on Monday, Mizrahi told the Ynet news that "due to the political culture and other reasons, the council is no longer able to fill the central role it deserves."
Nachi Eyal, Director of the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel, said, "The resignation and statements of the head of the National Security Council are proof that the government is misleading the public and the members of the Winograd Commission. The report has not been implemented and we may yet find ourselves in a third Lebanese fiasco."
