Israel Security Agency – Legal Aspects –Mr. Eli Bahar

The various missions and responsibilities imposed on The Israel Security Agency (ISA) as well as the wide authorities which were provided to the ISA by the State of Israel in order to achieve them, placed the ISA in a very influential position. During the course we will explain the history of the ISA and outline the influencing factors on its development; demonstrate the key policy concepts in regard to the ISA's core missions and analyze the ways the ISA is functioning in several areas; specify the nature of the supervising mechanisms and evaluate its efficiency – in comparison to the way that other Democracies dealt with similar dilemmas.
