ALLATRA at the Shabtai Shavit World Summit on Counter-Terrorism 2025

On September 18, in Herzliya (Israel), Maryna Ovtsynova, President of the ALLATRA International Public Movement, and Kamila Marchenko, official representative of ALLATRA in Israel, took part in the Shabtai Shavit World Summit on Counter-Terrorism 2025, organized by the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) at Reichman University.

The summit is one of the world’s most influential security forums, bringing together senior officials, intelligence leaders, military experts, and scholars from over 50 countries to address threats from hybrid warfare to cyberattacks and cognitive manipulation.

During the event, the ALLATRA delegation discussed with participants and keynote speakers its OSINT-based analytical study, A New Form of Hybrid Terrorism: Analysis of Structure, Methods, and Financing Using the Example of the Transnational “Anti-Cult” Network.

The report presented by ALLATRA drew significant attention from experts and officials, including:
Michael Glasheen, Operations Director, Terrorist Screening Center, FBI (USA);
Nir Barkat, Minister of Economy and Industry of Israel;
Yoav Gallant, former Minister of National Security of Israel;
Jonathan Davis, Vice President for External Relations and Head of the Raphael Recanati International School, Reichman University;
Mitchell D. Silber, former Director of Intelligence Analysis, NYPD (USA);
Roger Carstens, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs (SPEHA);
and Brian Jenkins, Senior Advisor to the President of RAND.

The report serves as a strategic addition to current counterterrorism doctrines, showing how transnational anti-cult networks use psychological and cognitive manipulation to interfere in domestic affairs and undermine democratic foundations.

In her remarks, Maryna Ovtsynova stressed the importance of global cooperation in countering new forms of psychological and informational warfare that threaten democracy and human freedom.
