(Worthy News) – The cabinet and the Knesset voted on Wednesday to advance legislation that would enable the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to use its digital tools to track coronavirus patients. The bill passed a preliminary reading in the Knesset plenum by a vote of 44 to 33, but still must pass additional readings in a Knesset committee and the plenum next week in order to become law.

At the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he wants to accelerate the development of an app to allow for effective contact tracing. However, he admitted that “this will take time – weeks and I hope not months. Until then, we are seeking to supplement” our efforts with the Shin Bet surveillance tool.

He said that he hopes the coronavirus spread will slow and there will not be a need to use it. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
