TL;DR

The new system will have state encryption and WhatsApp will no longer be used for communication.

Hmm yes, state "encryption". Waiting for the day they find out it's broken and attackers had access to conversations for a few months (being slightly serious, I don't know what protocol they intend to use that would surpass or equal the Signal protocol, unless it's a state owned app that they can vet which is based on the same protocol)
