The State Security Cabinet ^[1](SSC;^[1] Hebrew: הקבינט המדיני-ביטחוני, HaKabinet HaMedini-Bithoni), also known as the Ministerial Committee on National Security Affairs (Hebrew: ועדת השרים לענייני ביטחון לאומי, Va'adat HaSarim Le'Inyanei Bitahon leomi) or National Security Affairs Committee (NSAC)^[2] is an "Inner Cabinet" within the Israeli Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister of Israel, with the purpose of outlining a foreign and defense policy and implementing it. This smaller forum of cabinet members is designated to coordinate diplomatic negotiations, and in times of crisis, especially war, it is designed to make quick and effective decisions.
