Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel signed a major security agreement with Greece, describing it as one of the largest such deals in the state's history. According to Netanyahu, the pact builds directly on the Eastern Mediterranean alliance Israel forged with Greece and Cyprus a decade ago, reinforcing a strategic partnership that has become central to Israel's regional posture. The agreement underscores Jerusalem's deepening ties with European partners at a time of heightened tensions across the Middle East. Netanyahu framed the deal as a continuation of long-term strategic planning rather than a reactive measure, signaling confidence in Israel's diplomatic and defense alliances in the region. No further details on the specific terms of the agreement were immediately provided.
