On today’s Israel Update, Newsmax’s Israel correspondent Jodie Cohen showcased two stories that should make every American who loves safety and free enterprise sit up and take notice. The Barclays Center in Brooklyn is deploying Israeli AI software to speed and harden security at arena entry points, and Cohen profiles an Israeli drone company that is rewriting the rules of industrial and tactical drone deployment.
Barclays Center has chosen SeeTrue, an Israeli AI security firm, to integrate its prohibited-item detection software into visitor checkpoints, promising faster throughput and fewer long lines while boosting detection across a wide range of threats. The announcement, made at the end of September 2025, is exactly the kind of private-sector ingenuity American venues should welcome if they want safer, smoother events for families and fans.
Let’s be clear: this is not some Big-Government mandate — it’s a business decision by arena operators who put guests first. Conservatives should cheer partnerships that put technology and accountability ahead of ideology, not cave to the predictable hand-wringing from the left about “surveillance” while ignoring the simple fact that hardened, efficient security saves lives. News that private firms from a trusted ally are stepping up to protect Americans deserves praise, not scorn.
On the drone front, Israel’s Percepto and similar firms are pushing autonomous “drone-in-a-box” platforms and AIM software that let companies run safe, repeatable inspections and even beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions for energy, mining, and infrastructure clients. Percepto has earned serious regulatory recognition — including FAA-type approvals — and is already piloting programs with major U.S. customers like Chevron to conduct remote inspections that keep workers out of harm’s way. Those are the kind of real-world wins that translate into American jobs and safer operations.
This is a reminder that allies who share our values — and who can out-innovate our adversaries — are strategic assets. Too many in Washington posture about “tech ethics” while slowing down deployment of life-saving capabilities; conservatives must demand common-sense regulation that protects privacy without kneecapping security or economic competitiveness. If we want resilient borders, reliable energy, and safe public venues, we should be importing the best of this tech and adopting it wisely.
Jodie Cohen’s reporting shows what a strong U.S.-Israel partnership looks like in practice: entrepreneurs building tools that defend civilians, create jobs, and keep infrastructure humming. Americans who believe in liberty and security should celebrate these breakthroughs, pressure timid policymakers to get out of the way, and support the private-public partnerships that actually deliver results for hardworking families across this country.
