ICT's 10th World Summit on Counter-Terrorism: Special Sessions
"Talking Heads"
This year marks a decade since the inauguration of ICT’s first World Summit on Counter-Terrorism. An unprecedented number of internationally renowned experts and leading decision-makers have confirmed their participation as keynote speakers and panelists at ICT’s 10th International Conference.
In light of the emerging security challenges facing the State of Israel and to mark the 10th Anniversary of ICT's World Summit, we are proud to announce a unique series of four high-level sessions focusing on Israel's current national and homeland security challenges.
The special series will be held in collaboration with the Institute for Policy and Strategy (IPS), a renowned research think-tank based in IDC Herzliya, which focuses on improving Israel’s national policy and upgrading its strategic decision-making process.
Titled “Talking Heads”, the series will bring together distinguished Israeli security decision-makers and will provide an open platform for substantive discussion. The "Talking Heads" series will feature the former heads of the Israeli security and intelligence services, including former heads of Mossad, the ISA (Shabak), Chiefs of Staff of the IDF, Commissioners of Israeli Police, Ministers of Defense and Ministers of Internal Security. The speakers will discuss their perspectives about Israel’s national and homeland security challenges, dilemmas, and viable solutions.
