Netanyahu interested in renewing Shin Bet tracking of virus carriers — report
Prime Minister Netanyahu is interested in renewing a controversial program allowing the Shin Bet security agency to use sensitive personal data to track coronavirus carriers and those who were exposed to them, the Haaretz daily reports.
The report comes after Deputy Health Minister Yoav Kisch, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, called earlier today for the swift passage of a law authorizing the tracking program, which lapsed earlier this month after the government declined to advance legislation anchoring it in law.
