Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law for the Regulation of Security in Public Bodies (Amendment No. 10), 2019 was passed in second and third reading on 1 January 2019. The Law for the Regulation of Security in Public Bodies, 1998 currently establishes three security areas: physical security, information security, and security of vital computerized systems, which are overseen, according to the division set in the Law, by three guiding bodies: the Israel Police, the Israel Security Agency, and the Cyber Directorate. With the passage of the Law, a new security area was added - maritime security. The guiding body in this area will be the IDF, through the Navy. The Navy will guide, in the field of maritime security, bodies listed in the Sixth Schedule to the Law that have maritime facilities (such as ports, gas rigs, and the like), and will be involved in the process of appointing a security officer in bodies that have facilities out at sea, but will not be involved in appointing a security officer in bodies that have facilities located in the border zone between sea and land. It was also established that the Navy's representative will be required to consult with the regulators of the guided bodies for the purpose of giving instructions for maritime security actions. The Law further establishes that since some bodies will have several guiding bodies, and in order to prevent contradictory instructions from different guiding bodies, the authorized officers will establish, by procedure, rules for coordinating professional instructions and resolving disagreements. Finally, it was established regarding the private port companies currently in the process of establishment within the Haifa Port and Ashdod Port areas that, at this stage, they will only be guided with respect to their land-based facilities by the authorized officers of the Israel Security Agency and the Police regarding physical security and information security, and the need to provide guidance regarding maritime security actions will be examined later.
