Israel, Germany sign counterterrorism, cyberwarfare agreement

Israel and Germany signed a major counterterrorism and cyberwarfare agreement in Jerusalem on Sunday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said cybersecurity “is one of the main threats to our internal security, and in many ways also our infrastructure and other threats.” Netanyahu said Israel and Germany “are natural partners” in countering cyberthreats, citing Israel’s recent sale of its Arrow 3 missile defense system to Germany. That sale was announced on the same day it was expanded by another $3.1 billion. Israel may see Germany as a close strategic partner it can depend on for intimate security, but Bible prophecy warns that such cooperation is actually setting Israel up for a heinous betrayal.
