Israel to host first global cyber threats, counterterrorism forum

Top security officials from around the world are ‎slated to attend the first Global Forum on ‎Counterterrorism, Incitement and Cyber Threats in ‎Jerusalem next week.‎

The three-day conference, scheduled to be held ‎on June 12-14, is an initiative promoted by Public ‎Security Minister Gilad Erdan. President Reuven ‎Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ‎intelligence, police and military officials will ‎attend the symposium, alongside homeland and public ‎security ministers from the United States, Canada, ‎Germany, Albania, Romania, Azerbaijan, Greece, ‎Bulgaria, Rwanda, Hungary, Georgia, Ghana, Latvia, ‎Croatia, Paraguay, Lithuania, and Serbia.‎

The conference represents the first forum of its ‎kind and aims to form an international coalition ‎against incitement and cyber threats as part of the ‎war on terror.‎ It was designed with the ‎understanding that just as terrorist organizations ‎operate on an international level, there is a need for ‎cross-state cooperation on the war on terror, as well. ‎

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot, Police ‎Commissioner Roni Alsheikh, Mossad Director Yossi ‎Cohen, Shin Bet Director Nadav Argaman and other top ‎security officials are expected to brief the ‎visiting ministers on Israel's counterterrorism ‎strategies, especially with respect to lone-wolf ‎terrorism, which is a growing global phenomenon.‎

The ministers will also become privy to Israeli ‎counterterrorism technologies, including the unique and ongoing cooperation between Israel and Germany, and will observe a ‎special presentation by the Israel Police ‎Counterterrorism Unit simulating a hostage ‎situation.‎

Israel's experience in the field has made it into a ‎global leader on counterterrorism, and its success ‎in battling lone-wolf terrorism in Jerusalem is ‎being studied worldwide, prompting numerous ‎countries to seek collaboration with Israeli ‎security forces on this issue.‎

‎"The State of Israel and the Israel Police are at ‎the forefront of the war on terror," Erdan said. ‎‎"Our complex reality, in which we constantly deal ‎with terrorist threats, has led to Israel having a ‎significant arsenal of counterterrorism measures. ‎

‎"Israel has become a global leader in the fight ‎against terrorism and the Israel Police wants to ‎both share our knowledge and learn from others," he ‎continued. "The fact that many ministers chose to ‎come to Israel to learn from us and to cooperate is ‎no small thing. Lone-wolf terrorists, who act ‎spontaneously and systematically, harm innocent ‎people all over the world, so we must work together ‎to eradicate terrorism." ‎

Holding the conference in Jerusalem, he said, ‎‎"attests to the international recognition of ‎Israel's counterterrorism prowess."
