Israel, Beverly Hills To Sign Cooperation Agreement

June 21, 2015 | In lieu of one of the worst droughts in California’s history, the City of Beverly Hills has announced a partnership with Israel to learn about water-saving technologies. The agreement is part of a larger agreement between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and California Governor Jerry Brown to foster economic cooperation and development, signed in March 2014. Besides water technology, the agreement is set to include cooperation initiatives on a number of other topics, including cybersecurity, public health and disaster preparedness. The final agreement is expected to be signed sometime this summer.
