The 2025 Shabtai Shavit World Summit on Counter-Terrorism brought together senior policymakers, security professionals, and academics to examine Israel’s evolving role in a rapidly shifting global security environment following October 7 and the ensuing multi-front war. Over four days, the summit focused on key strategic challenges – including Iran’s growing influence, the transformation of modern warfare, rising global extremism, and the erosion of international legitimacy – while emphasizing the need to align military success with long-term political strategy and international coordination.
