MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) —
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making a swing through the
Silicon Valley where he met with high-tech leaders and signed a
pro-business agreement with Gov. Jerry Brown.
Sitting
next to Netanyahu, Brown said Wednesday their agreement builds on their
respective strengths in research and technology to confront critical
problems both Israel and California face including drought and
cybersecurity.
Wednesday's
visit followed Netanyahu's meetings with President Barack Obama in
Washington, D.C., on Monday and his appearance Tuesday at the Los
Angeles premiere of a television documentary that features him.
Netanyahu
planned stops at Stanford University, Apple Inc. in Cupertino, a
meeting with WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum, a Jewish Ukrainian immigrant
who sold his company to Facebook Inc. for $19 billion last month.
