Shlomo Gazit

Shlomo Gazit

Shlomo Gazit, previously Weinstein, born to a family of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants in Israel, is a retired Major General in the Israel Defense Forces and head of Aman.

He served as the head of assessment in IDF intelligence before the Six Day War, but then took leave to study for a Masters degree in History. Gazit's studies were interrupted in the summer of 1967, when he was appointed by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan to be in charge of a committee tasked with running the political, security, and later economic affairs in the newly captured territories. This group would later be renamed "The Unit for the Coordination of Operations in the Territories". After seven years, Gazit was promoted to head of Aman, which he held from 1974 to 1978.

Upon his retirement from the IDF he served as President of the Ben Gurion University in Beer-Sheva, for two four-year terms. Nowadays, he is a member of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.
