The agreement established plans for creating a "defense establishment branch" based in a 30-story tower that will house all Israeli defense bodies. The building will include dedicated offices for Israeli defense ministers and IDF chiefs of staff, alongside accommodation for additional security agencies.

The structure will also contain a complex for the Directorate of Defense Research & Development, which project officials hope will attract young high-tech professionals to Jerusalem, thereby contributing to the city's economy.

Beyond this, the bodies agreed to relocate the recruitment office currently known to Jerusalemites on Rashi Street to an "alternative location" to conduct a "facelift" and adapt it to current and future needs. In practice, sources familiar with the matter indicate the Jerusalem office will be moved to Givat HaTahmoshet, where recruits board buses to the induction chain at Tel Hashomer Base on their recruitment day.

The current Jerusalem office is located near the headquarters of extremist groups that occasionally demonstrate outside it, and it will be interesting to see whether demonstrations will also take place at the new location.

Officials also decided to transfer military colleges to the capital and to establish housing projects for career soldiers who will serve in the ambitious tower, which will serve them and their family members. Alongside this, construction of an IDF museum will begin in the near future, adjacent to Jerusalem's botanical garden.

"The defense establishment is declaring today in the clearest way that Jerusalem is becoming home to central areas of our activity," Defense Minister Israel Katz stated. Following him, Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion hinted at projects on the agenda in the capital, which he called part of a "defense hub."

"This is a significant moment that will strengthen Jerusalem and position it at the forefront of national security. Jerusalem will be a pillar and central anchor for the State of Israel's defense establishment. The crown jewel is in the business district at the city entrance, where an advanced defense hub will be established that will concentrate the headquarters of all defense establishment bodies in the State of Israel," Lion said.
