==Activities==
:In a 2013 biographical note in HuffPost, Tzahi Gavrieli was described as 'an attorney', who 'has served as an advisor to Israeli Prime Ministers, Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Olmert. During his time in the Prime Minister’s Office he served also as the Cabinet Secretary Adviser, and took a major part in the founding of the National Public Diplomacy department.Huffington Post Tzahi Gavrieli. Accessed 10 June 2020.
:He has also 'acted as the Chairman of the Student Association of the Inter Disciplinary Center, Israel (IDC). Currently is the owner of a strategic consulting Company and about to publish a children's book.'
 
:Gavrieli, 43, a lawyer, was Netanyahu’s adviser on content affairs and also worked in the bureaus of prime ministers Ehud Olmert and Ariel Sharon. He was involved in the establishment of the Public Diplomacy Council and before the last election left Netanyahu’s office and worked with Moshe Kahlon on preparing the platform of Kahlon’s party, Kulanu. He took up his current post in the Strategic Affairs Ministry last year [2015].
:During the discussion in the Knesset’s transparency committee, Gavrieli said a number of times it would have been better for it to have taken place in a less public forum. According to Gavrieli, the ministry’s role was to “act so the narrative of the State of Israel as the national home of the Jewish people is clear and unquestionable, not among countries nor among audiences, not among progressive liberal audiences, not on campuses, nor among economic decision makers, nor among jurists throughout the world, nor among labor unions and churches. And the second narrative is to stop the phenomenon of delegitimization. And on that matter, there is difficulty speaking in an open forum.”
:When Gavrieli was asked what the ministry’s definition of delegitimization was, he said it meant “rallying of organizations and ideas around an existing contemporary issue of rejecting the idea of the State of Israel as the national home of the Jewish people.”Uri Blau Inside the Clandestine World of Israel's 'BDS-busting' Ministry, Haaretz Mar 26, 2017.
