flag Israel approves bill letting it label criminal gangs as terrorist groups to boost crackdowns.

flag Israel’s Ministerial Committee on Legislation has approved a bill allowing the government to designate major criminal organizations as terrorist groups, enabling security agencies like Shin Bet to use anti-terrorism tools against them. flag The measure, backed by Shin Bet’s new director, aims to combat organized crime using powers typically reserved for national security threats, particularly in urban and Arab communities where armed groups are suspected of using explosives, infiltrating governments, and collaborating with foreign entities. flag The bill now advances for parliamentary review, with the goal of strengthening law enforcement and public safety by treating certain criminal networks with the same legal seriousness as terrorist organizations.
