Speaking at the JNS international policy conference in Jerusalem, Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs, said Israel's main challenge is a combined information, delegitimization, and psychological warfare campaign. He called for a national directorate for awareness security under the Prime Minister's Office that integrates intelligence, cyber, and AI capabilities.
Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs, warned Sunday evening at the JNS international policy conference in Jerusalem that Israel's next major battle is for global awareness and legitimacy. Alongside its military achievements against Iran and its proxies, Diker said, Israel faces a combined offensive of disinformation, delegitimization, and psychological warfare aimed at undermining its international standing and driving a wedge between Israel, the United States, and Jewish diaspora communities.
Diker argued that Islamist actors, radical-left organizations, and hostile states have worked for decades to promote a narrative depicting Israel as a colonial and illegitimate state. He called for the establishment of a national directorate for awareness security operating under the Prime Minister's Office, integrating intelligence, cyber, and AI capabilities to lead a proactive effort in the global influence arena.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday evening, Diker's remarks at the same conference expand on his long-standing analysis of Israel's strategic communication challenges. "Israel must understand the nature of the war it faces and act accordingly. The time for this is now," Diker said.
