Partner Dalit Ben-Israel, Head of Naschitz Brandes Amir’s IT Privacy & Data Protection practice, authored a paper titled “Amendment 13 of Israel’s Privacy Protection Law: A Game-Changer for Data Protection Compliance?” published in the Journal of Data Protection & Privacy.
The paper surveys how Amendment 13 aligns Israeli privacy law with global standards, particularly the GDPR, introduces a framework for administrative fines, and strengthens enforcement. It highlights key reforms, including tougher enforcement mechanisms, new criminal offenses, and the new obligation to appoint Data Protection Officers (DPOs). The analysis discusses practical implications and compliance challenges for businesses and government entities and offers actionable recommendations for policymakers, organizations, and legal practitioners adapting to these regulatory shifts.
