Greece, the Greek Cypriot Administration and Israel agreed on Monday to strengthen military and security cooperation, as their leaders reaffirmed a long-standing trilateral partnership during talks in Jerusalem.
Speaking at a joint press conference with visiting Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mistotakis and Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underlined: "We agreed today to deepen our cooperation in security and defense."
Arguing that the trilateral alliance does not specifically target any country in the region, he said: "Look, we're not seeking confrontation with anyone. On the contrary, we seek stability, prosperity, and peace."
"We hope that our coalition won't be tested," Netanyahu added.
Speaking to reporters, Mitsotakis said: "This is the 10th trilateral meeting of our countries, and this shows the depth of our cooperation that has been tested by time and has proven resilient."
