Belize Security Team Invited To Israeli Exhibit
posted (May 11, 2018)
As a jewish nation at odds with many of its Islamic neighbors, Israel has made an industry of exporting its security expertise. And now some of that may be coming to Belize.

According to a release from the Israeli Embassy in Mexico, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Edward Broaster, BDF Captain Roberta Usher, along with Lieutenant Ray Good from the Coast Guard all attended the sixth seminar on Homeland Security and Cyber Emergency Management in Mexico.

The release says the group was able to see the latest technologies in cyber security and defense from 25 different Israeli Companies.

The group ended by having a meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to Belize Jonathan Peled.

We should note that as these internal security discussions are held, Israel and Guatemala are closer than ever - with Guatemala being one of only five countries agreeing to move its embassy to the contested city of Jerusalem. The Guatemalans proudly raised their flag at the embassy site last week in advance of construction.
