Attachment : Possible Questions for an Exchange Between NATO IMS and Israel.docx;


בנצי – תעיין בבקשה ותן לי אישור שכיוונים אלו עשויים להוות בסיס לחלק מהשיח של האלוף.

זה לא בהכרח מכתיב את נושא הביקור, אך זה תחום עניין של אגף מבצעים בנאט"ו, כך שלפחות בשיח מולם לטעמי ניתן לפתח זאת בקלות בהקשר האיראני וארגוני הטרור ולחזק את הלגיטימציה שלנו עם מתן דוגמאות שאינן בהכרח מסווגות.

היי ניר,

לקראת הפגישה ב22.11 עם מנהל מבצעים ב ims העביר איש הקשר את המסמך המצורף כמצע לדיון. בקצרה, הרקע המתואר משקף את ההתמודדות של ישראל עם טרור במכלול היבטים. במצע לדיון הוא מציע שיח על היבטים משפטיים, התמודדות עם דיסאינפורמציה ואתגרים טכנולוגיים. כזכור, השיח ב22 אמור לשמש בסיס למפגש במהלך הביקור של האלוף בנג'ו במהלך ינואר.

אנא עדכן אם יש לך הערות,

טל

Dear Tal,

 

As discussed, please find attached a couple of possible questions for our future exchanges, which can be discussed during our 22 Nov meeting. Please let me know what you think and whether you would like to change anything.

 

Thank you!

 

Best,

Jean

 

 

Dear Jean,

 

Attached are Col. Omer’s CV and mine.

Dear Tal,

 

Could you maybe forward me the bios of all people attending, once you know who will come from your side?

 

Thanks!

Dear Tal,

 

A mistake in the date: 25 November, 16:00h, is the time and date we propose.

 

Would this work?

 

Best,

Jean

 

 

Classification: NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Dear Tal,

 

I can offer to your Military Attaché to meet with the Director of the Operations & Planning Division, General Bevis, as well as with his successor on 28 November, 16:00h. Would this work for you?

 

As discussed, we would appreciate to jointly develop a little agenda. For this, I suggest that I write a 1-pager in the coming weeks and share it with you upfront for your comments and amendments. Would you agree with this?

 

Thank you very much.


Best,

Jean

 

 

Dear Jean,

 

In light of Keinan’s departure- I will follow up.

 

The answer to your question is positive.

 

Since we are currently in the midst of the jewish holidays (and you have the Defence Ministerial)- lets aim for something after the 25.10.

 

Let me know some options on your side afterwards and we’ll try to adapt.

 

Best,

Tal

Hi Keinan,

 

Sure thing! Thanks for the information. Topic-wise, will you want to discuss the questions we exchanged so far? Meaning: Emerging tech on the battlefield, military operations and disinformation, and lawfare.

 

Best,

Jean

 

 

Hi Jean,

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Since I’m leaving please keep both Tal and Neta (Copied) on the loop on the possibility for a meeting.

 

The idea is to have the meeting with your director with the Israeli Military attaché to NATO, Col. Nir Omer.

Even though he is at a rank of Col. He is the highest ranking Israeli military representative in Brussels, and meets regularly with milreps of delegations as well as the CMC and other high ranking military officials.

 

Best,

Keinan

Hi Keinan,

 

I will raise the point with my boss on Thursday, once he is back. Then we will find out what is the best way to prepare that meeting with the Director. His counterpart from your side would be what level?

 

My Director is MGen Timothy J BEVIS, GBR RM.

 

Best,

Jean
