Shin Bet chief: We’re not yet at emergency situation that warrants our tracking
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleShin Bet chief Nadav Argaman tells ministers at today’s “corona cabinet” meeting that Israel is not yet facing an “emergency situation” that warrants the use of the security agency’s invasive tracking technology in order to identify individuals who have been exposed to the coronavirus, Channel 13 reports.
Argaman says that once such a scenario arrives, he will remove his opposition to the proposal.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several other Likud ministers disagreed with Argaman’s position, saying that such invasive measures are necessary already.
Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and Economy Minister Amir Peretz were among those who supported Argaman’s position, Channel 13 reports.
