Aharon Yariv (Hebrew: אהרן יריב, 20 December 1920 – 7 May 1994) was a Russian-born Israeli politician and general. During his military career, he was the first chief of the IDF Command and Staff College (PUM), Chief of Staff of the Central Military District, commander of the Golani Brigade, and from 1964 to 1972 Head of the Military Intelligence Directorate (AMAN), playing a significant role in the preparation of the Six-Day War. After completing his military service, he was an adviser to the Prime Minister on combating terror, then a member of the Knesset from the Maarah bloc, Minister of Transport and Minister of Information of Israel. During this period, he became one of the co-authors of the Yariva-Shem-Tova formula, which lists the conditions for Israel's negotiations with the Palestinians. Leaving public office in 1975, two years later he created the Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, which he headed until his death.
