Greece and Israel Strengthen Ties Against Drone and Cyber Threats

Greece and Israel have announced a collaboration on anti-drone systems and cybersecurity. The partnership includes sharing knowledge to counter unmanned vehicles and enhance cyber-threat readiness. This builds on their existing military cooperation, including Greece's purchase of Israeli rocket artillery and plans for advanced defense systems.

Greece and Israel are elevating their defense cooperation by focusing on anti-drone systems and cybersecurity measures. This initiative was announced by Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias following discussions in Athens with Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz.

The collaboration aims to enhance capabilities to counter threats from drone swarms and cyberattacks. Both nations have a history of military cooperation, evident in joint drills and Greece's procurement of Israeli-made rocket artillery.

The two countries also expressed a shared commitment to preventing destabilizing influences in the region, particularly in areas like Syria and Gaza. Although no specific nations were identified as threats, Turkey's strategic actions remain a concern for both Greece and Israel.
