Over a million dollars for concrete financing: documentation from the deepening of the maneuver of the 98th Division in the Khan Yunis area and from the intelligence materials that were located / IDF Spokesman
Around the world, artificial intelligence systems, AI, are already being used to develop a new and contemporary relationship between the taxpayer and the various tax branches (artificial intelligence works in different countries in the world, in the service of the tax systems).
Israel boasts the title of "Startup Nation", therefore it is only natural that Israel is a place to make use of the new technology that is flooding the world.
The Israeli treasury lacks capital, a lot of capital is missing from the state coffers to finance the war and to finance a security budget that will inevitably swell in the years to come, to ensure that Mada does not fall a second time, that the surprise of the Yom Kippur war does not return and the Simchat Torah disaster does not change.
In Canada, for example, artificial intelligence is openly used to eradicate the phenomena of money laundering.
The artificial intelligence systems in Canada discovered money transfers suspected of involving financial crimes.
The central monitoring and reporting system for illegal financial activity, under the body called in Canada: the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center (FINTRAC), a kind of equivalent of the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Israel.
At the end of last year, the authority fined Canada's two largest banks - Royal Bank of Canada and CIBC - a total of 9 million Canadian dollars for failing to report suspicious money transfers to the supervisory authority.
It was the artificial intelligence that discovered the offenses.
According to an estimate, money laundering in Canada continues and the annual volume is estimated at 100 billion Canadian dollars and up to 130 billion Canadian dollars according to the CD Howe Research Institute, the independent non-profit whose goal is to raise the standard of living in Canada. This amount is equal to about 4% of the GDP of Canada The Canadian government has added more budgets and more manpower to FINTRAC in order to reach in real time illegal financial transfers, some of which are feared to be intended for terrorist financing.

In North America and Europe, they are already thinking about the revolution of the twenty-first century, according to which artificial intelligence will not require the taxpayer to fill out forms and fields on the income tax computer or through the accountant, all the information flows automatically and continuously and the system initiates the collection of taxes or refunds directly from or to the taxpayer's account - all through a system Algorithms of artificial intelligence.
The tax authorities will be able to draw automatic data from all sources in the economic activity from shopping, deliveries, payments, payroll systems and banking activity and generate tax liabilities or tax refunds in real time.
Mega data will be enormous with the increasing use of network-based computing systems of memory chips, with calculation and response capabilities that will produce data at high speed and at a decreasing cost.
The US is increasing subsidies for advanced memory manufacturers, so as not to be dependent on supplies from abroad.
According to a report by the OECD, 40 countries are already using artificial intelligence to promote an efficient and fair tax system.
In the USA, Canada and Spain, the system is used to detect acts of deception and fraud.
Israel, which is engaged in the war against terrorism, is a few steps behind. True, in 2002, 22 years ago, the "Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing" was established, located in the Ministry of Justice. The Authority needs and must To help Israel's intelligence agencies and the government track down money laundering offenses, from there the path is short to the production of money intended to finance terrorist activities, to accumulate capacity for terrorism and to damage the basis of Israel's economic power.

Total Recall
The Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering in Israel operates today under the Anti-Terrorism Law, 2016. The Authority in Israel works in close cooperation with the Israel Police and also with international bodies dealing with the issue, such as FATF, which gave recommendations on how the enforcement authorities can use advanced technologies to investigate money laundering and financing cases terrorism.
The FATF organization, Financial Action Task Force, an international body of the seven rich countries established in 1989, indicated last year the growing use of extortion and sophistication through ransom as well as the growing use of virtual assets.
The use of virtual assets such as crypto-currencies makes it difficult for the authorities in the world and in Israel to track terrorist funds.
The Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering in Israel has no investigative powers.
It transfers relevant information from the huge database it accumulates, according to law, only when there is suspicion of money laundering or of course terrorist financing.
The main source of reporting to the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering in Israel is from the financial system in Israel as a whole.
The question is whether the authority in Israel with its number of employees, according to the new budget book, has only 50 employees, and its budget is NIS 37 million at the most, can or could have prevented the flow of money to the terrorism that surrounds us from all sides - when the peak is of course the blow we received in Shiva for October 2023
The Authority could use artificial intelligence to catch fat fish, not only in money laundering offenses but also in connection with the financing of terrorism, after all the word "terror" appears in the title of its name and role, isn't it
?
With the manpower that the state has allocated to it and the pennies in its budget, it is clear that the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing has no power to really act for a sufficient discovery and exposure of the clearing, routing, shipping, financing and payments for the Palestinian terrorism that rose to kill us.
Money changers.
91,000 cases of unusual activity were identified - a 291% increase in five years/Reuven Castro
Self-study
Artificial intelligence makes it possible to carry out many activities: cross-detailed information transfers, which are drawn from various sources in order to deeply challenge the system for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, for example through questions and answers, dialogue between systems, which could not be carried out before, certainly not for big data and at the required speed.
The artificial intelligence can examine system structures and trace human actions resulting from its self-learning, a kind of self-learning machine, LEARNING MACHINE, which increases its ability from time to time.
In the report of the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing for the year 2022, it reported to the authorized bodies that they received from it in one year information on 170,000 unusual activities (compared to 3.2 million normal activities of the naqavim, according to law and another 12,000 customs reports.
Most of the extracts of the reports on Suspicion of illegal activity, 63%. The tax authority has 13% and the security system only 9%. The authority found that in the last two years 2021-2022, 23% of the crimes that were at the basis of money laundering were fraud, cheating and forgery, 21% were an increasing use of tax crimes Including forgery of tax invoices, 13% as part of the activities of criminal organizations, 20% as a result of increased international activity and 17% illegal activity in cash. About 14% of the activity was by financial service providers, such as money changers, and another 12% was carried out using credit cards.
A significant increase was recorded among the money changers, 91,000 cases of unusual activity among money changers, an increase of 291% in five years, yes over two hundred and ninety percent. An
increase of this magnitude among the providers of financial services (the money changers), should have turned on a red light not only in The tax authorities, but immediately also with the General Security Service, which should understand - and investigate where money that comes from abroad and turns into Israeli money is routed.
For this you don't need artificial intelligence but only rational thinking.
As soon as the funds from abroad were converted into shekels through the money changers (or "Hwala" in Arabic trust, money transfer between trustees: one pays in a certain country and the beneficiary receives the money in an unknown country, without money transfer, but an ongoing accounting between the two entities that express trust in each other, so can being between a money changer in Judea and Samaria and its counterpart in Lebanon) it is easier to purchase equipment and materials in Israel through Gazan merchants, who work directly with invoices and receipts with Israeli merchants, who "export" to Gaza more and more construction materials from Israel, including cement and chemicals for "civilian" use.
The Israelis' eyes watered from seeing What will be done with the cement that goes to Gaza and their ears are closed from hearing the noise of the construction of a huge system of well-concreted tunnels for hundreds of kilometers. Money talks and it is what blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous, not the war on terror.

Until last year, it was still possible for security prisoners to have bank accounts in the Palestinian banking system/Ministry of Defense, Spokesperson and Public Relations Division
Terrorist banking
One of the main sources of information for the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Authority is the Israeli banking system.
Nowhere in the Anti-Money Laundering Authority's report is there any information about cross-referencing information with the eight Palestinian banks in Judea and Samaria with the reported Israeli banking system, seven banks located in Ramallah. Unbelievable, but until May of last year it was still possible for security prisoners to have bank accounts in the Palestinian banking system, But an Israeli order forced the closure of these accounts.
In fact, terrorist funds were an integral part of the banking system in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip. The Israelis, the security establishment in Judea and Samaria, turned a blind eye just as they turned a blind eye to the arming of Hamas, maintaining industrial peace or rather commercial peace.
Only after The massacre in October was remembered by the Israeli government: the IDF, the Shin Bet, the cyber unit of 433 and other governmental bodies, at the end of December, to confiscate tens of millions of shekels of terrorist funds in Judea and Samaria belonging to Hamas. What and who did the Israelis raid? 28 money changer offices. Suddenly it became clear The image of terrorist financing?
The scourge of the state in the field of terrorist financing are the tzinjis who work with fellow money changers in Arab countries, especially in Lebanon.
I ask why the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing is needed, if everything was visible to the Israeli authorities who turned a blind eye in order to maintain "industrial" peace " (including the transfer of cash by the Qataris with Israel's approval to finance the strengthening of Hamas)?
After all, the problem of money changers, the money changers, appears openly in the report of the Anti-Money Laundering and War on Terrorism Authority, which pointed out the problem of the huge increase in the activity of money changers, without mentioning the problem of terrorist financing involved
? "B, that Israel is under its protection, turned a blind eye.
The USA, which in fact controls the mighty global money transfer and payment system SWIFT, along with the West, expelled Russia and Iran from using this system, which is essential to every living economy in the world. Note that the Americans did not stop the Gazan terrorists of Hamas. In fact, the USA allowed (Israel News ), for banks in Gaza, such as the Muslim Bank and the Palestinian Arab Bank, to remain connected to the global SWIFT.
This status allowed for interbank transfers from all over the world, in fact to finance and strengthen Hamas - so Calcalist published from Deputy Superintendent Eran Kamin, retired head of the Yaha Unit, an economic crime investigator familiar with Gazan banking. Perhaps
Israel does not need artificial intelligence systems as that the nations of the world are activating, maybe we will be satisfied at first with only the human intelligence of an honest person, from the security, government and enforcement systems - and not with unfounded work assumptions, accompanied by arrogance. Maybe we could have prevented the disaster of the Seventh in October - at least that is what the humble human understanding says.
