As opposed to the defense and intelligence establishments, the MFA has been stripped of its routine responsibilities and assignments, which have been scattered among other government ministries. In effect, it has lost its place within the system. In recent decades, the foreign ministry’s area of activity has gradually contracted despite its extensive contribution and that of its staff. Indeed, its contribution spanned all areas of national security and foreign policy all over the world. The erosion in the MFA’s role occurred for a variety of reasons, including because the defense establishment, the intelligence community, and often officials in the Prime Minister’s Office took part in these efforts.
