hi,
I've just returned from a vacation, and found in Tuesday's paper here (in 
Hebrew) a piece about an initiuatve to include in the SHABAK (General 
Security Service) Act Proposal, elaborated between the Israeli Justice 
Dept., the Knesset (parliament) and the GSS, that the GSS would be 
authorized to listen to Email, Internet, and sattelite-links in Israel as 
well as phones and cellphones that are already authorized.
