Darshan-Leitner, the founder and director of the Israel Law Center, will discuss the unconventional Israeli task force Harpoon, which was created to combat terrorism. Leitner has appeared on CNN, BBC, Fox News, among other media outlets, and will explain the unconventional ways Israel’s espionage service Mossad waged financial warfare against extremist organizations and regimes funding worldwide terrorism and how Harpoon’s cloak-and-dagger campaign became the blueprint for American efforts to fight threats such as ISIS.
After her presentation, Leitner will sign the book she co-wrote with Sam Katz of The New York Times, Harpoon: Inside the Covert War Against Terrorism’s Money Masters.
