The head of Israel's domestic security agency, the Shin Bet, David Zini, visited Paris, France, yesterday for meetings with senior officials from French security services. The visit, which was pre-scheduled according to Kan News, included discussions on combating terrorism and radical Islam, particularly in light of recent unrest in France. Zini met with high-ranking representatives from two key French intelligence agencies: the DGSI, responsible for internal security and comparable to the Shin Bet, and the DGSE, France's external intelligence service, which parallels Israel's Mossad. These meetings occurred during a period of diplomatic tension between Israel and France, with France advancing measures against Israel, such as a ban on imports from Israeli settlements. The Shin Bet's extensive experience in counter-terrorism and intelligence gathering within civilian populations was noted as a potential focus for security cooperation, especially given the context of the French riots and discussions on radical Islam. The Shin Bet declined to confirm or provide details about the meetings, stating they do not comment on the schedule of the agency's head.
