U.S. and Israel Urged to Lead Global Cyber Order Amidst Rising Digital Threats
The United States and Israel are being called upon to lead the establishment of a global cyber order, defining the rules and architecture for cyberspace. This initiative is deemed crucial as the world increasingly relies on digital infrastructure for critical functions, from power grids and hospitals to military operations. The argument posits that the next world order is being shaped in data centers, undersea cables, chip factories, and the code that governs essential systems. The U.S. brings scale, leadership in advanced computing, chip design, AI, and a global network of alliances, while Israel offers a highly innovative cyber sector honed by continuous defense against threats. The partnership between these two nations is seen as uniquely positioned to combine capability with legitimacy, a concept emphasized by Henry Kissinger, to create a stable and secure digital environment. This collaboration aims to counter regimes that seek an order where rules are optional and dependency is a tool of coercion.
