The Agranat Commission was a commission appointed by the Israeli prime minister in 1974 to investigate the intelligence failures of the 1973 war, where Israel was surprised by the Syrian-Egyptian attack on Yom Kippur.1
Several important recommendations from the commission's secret report were implemented immediately. One key recommendation converted Mossad into the senior intelligence agency, granting it more powers than Mossad. As a result, the National Assessment of the immediate security situation became solely the responsibility of the director of Mossad.1
A further effect of the recommendations was the creation of the External Relations Department of Mossad (IDF/MI/ERD), built around an existing unit called Foreign Liaison.1
