Israeli Spies Caught in Switzerland, Attempting to Infiltrate Federal Chancellor’s Electronic Devices
Amidst the worldwide hysteria regarding the NSA and global espionage, the international community has found yet another reason to be outraged at the various governments that have implemented world-wide spying systems. Switzerland has released a statement to countries around the world that Israeli spies were found attempting to infiltrate and monitor the phone, laptop, and tablet of the Swiss Federal Chancellor, Corina Casanova. As an officially neutral country, Switzerland has blamed the Israeli government for an act of aggression against a country that has not had a history of military conflict for decades. Other neutral countries around the world now fear potential compromise of confidential governmental information, and question the legality of this unwarranted attack.
Earlier today, a representative from the Israeli government released a press report that Israel’s espionage systems were simply for defensive purposes because the country itself is located in a politically tumultuous region. However, this flagrant contradiction of Israel’s foreign policy has invoked no response from the government.
