After the war, Gazit took part in talks in Washington alongside Golda Meir. The discussion concerned supplies for Egyptian forces, military lines and the possibility of moving towards an agreement. He suggested emphasizing direct talks between the generals, considered alternative wording for redeployment and raised the issue of the wounded.
The record shows professional work that is not always visible in an official photograph: listening to an argument, proposing a different term and bringing an important issue back to the agenda.
The same day, Gazit went into the Oval Office with Golda Meir, Ambassador Simcha Dinitz and General Aharon Yariv for a meeting with President Richard Nixon and Kissinger. Meir thanked the President for the airlift and spoke of the prisoners and of the war’s toll. Nixon described the decisions he had taken during the war and urged her to make the most of the direct talks that had opened between the generals. At the end, the President walked the Prime Minister to the Rose Garden steps for photographs.[D2][FR73N]
