Defense, intel chiefs send angry letter to Netanyahu over planned cyber authority
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s defense and intelligence chiefs have sent an angry letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning against the establishment of a planned National Cyber Authority, Channel 2 reports.
In the letter signed by the Mossad and Shin Bet chiefs and also the deputy chief of staff of the IDF, they warn that in its current proposed form, the authority would cause “severe harm to the security of the state of Israel.”
In August last year, the Knesset proposed setting up the National Cyber Authority to bring together country’s various cyber defense groups under one umbrella.
For example, the authority would monitor the cyber defenses of the IDF and the Mossad, as well as the Electric Company and the Water Authority.
