and to the senior staff in Israel. The divisions work in close collaboration with numerous government ministries,
such as the Foreign Ministry, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Public Security and more.
In addition, division employees work in collaboration with the security organizations and the intelligence community, as well as with academics
