"Prime Minister Netanyahu informed me today of his intention to appoint a new head of the National Security Council," Hanegbi said in a statement.
He also called for an investigation into security failures during Hamas's unprecedented October 7, 2023, offensive on Israel.
The Prime Minister's Office announced later that the deputy head of the National Security Council (NSC), Gil Reich, has been appointed as the acting head of the NSC, replacing Tzachi Hanegbi.
It was also stated that "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks Tzachi Hanegbi for his service as head of the NSC over the past three years and wishes him great success in his future endeavors and robust health."
The Israeli Ynet website reported on Tuesday that Dismissed National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi participated in Netanyahu's meeting with the Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad.
But tomorrow, Hanegbi will not participate in Netanyahu's meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance.
