# AI rules in Israel

Israel has no horizontal AI law: its 2023 policy leaves AI rules to sector regulators and soft tools, and the National AI Program launched in August 2026 makes removing regulatory barriers its short-term regulatory goal.

- **Approach:** Sector regulators and guidelines
- **Key bodies:** National AI Directorate (Prime Minister’s Office), Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Ministry of Justice
- **Strategy:** [Israel’s National AI Strategic Plan](https://govextra.gov.il/media/cgwme4z1/israel-national-ai-strategic-plan_en.pdf) (2026)
- **Last checked:** 13 Oct 2026
