Mordechai Gazit (Hebrew: מרדכי גזית) was an advisor to Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. He was also Israeli ambassador to France and director-general of the Israeli foreign ministry.[1]
Gazit was a member of the Haganah and fought in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. He received his master's degree in archaeology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[1]
Gazit has rejected the argument that Israel missed an opportunity to make peace with Egypt from 1970-1973 after Anwar Sadat became Egypt's president. He has also rejected the claim that Jordan's King Hussein warned Meir about the impending Arab attack on Israel in 1973.[2]
