On 17 July 2018, Europol and Israel signed a working arrangement to expand their cooperation in combatting cross-border criminal activities such as fraud, cybercrime, terrorism, and financial crime. The agreement allows for the exchange of strategic information and the joint planning of operational activities. Furthermore, Israel National Police will designate a national contact point to act as the central point of contact between Europol and the law enforcement authorities and to enable information exchange on a 24-hour basis. In addition, both parties may agree on the secondment of Liaison Officers.
