Friendship against Turkey: Israel and Greece expand military cooperation

163

Israeli Defense Minister Beni Gantz on Tuesday hailed a $ 1,68 billion military cooperation agreement with Greece, calling it "a reflection of the excellent and developing relationship" between the two states. He noted that the signed document meets the interests of both Israel and Greece, will create hundreds of jobs and will contribute to stability in the Mediterranean. Beni Gantz is pleased that Israel and Greece are expanding military cooperation.

In a telephone conversation that took place after the agreement was approved, I thanked my friend, the Minister of Defense of Greece, Nikolaos Panayotopoulos, and expressed my gratitude for his personal participation in promoting this project.

Gantz said.



The agreement between the Israeli authorities and Athens regarding cooperation in the defense sphere provides for the creation of a flight school for Greek pilots by the Israeli company Elbit Systems, the purchase of ten M-346 training aircraft by Greece, maintenance of Israeli-made T-6 aircraft. In addition, Israel is committed to providing simulators, logistics and training assistance.

To a greater extent, the rapprochement between Athens and Israel is friendship against Turkey. Both Greece and Israel call Ankara's policy in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East “expansionist”. This forces all the countries of the region to come closer, which categorically disagree with it.

    At whose expense is the banquet? The Greeks started up money and immediately had partners. That's the scent)))

          Greece is so bankrupt that its GDP per capita is twice that of Russia.

                After the collapse of the shipping industry, what is Greece producing? From manufactured goods? And so yes, just forgot how much debt in% of the country's GDP. And how many times have you failed to pay on time. The record holder is Britain ... then Italy, then Greece. With such indicators, the Russian Federation has already closed.

                  Ethiopia has 13%, less than Russia, and 100 times less than Luxembourg.
                  conclusion --- in Ethiopia, the standard of living is higher than that of the named countries?

                    Can I give you another list of countries here? And you will be quite surprised by the difference between Ethiopia and similar countries with a minimum of GDP debt and a standard of living ?! Otherwise, you know how to pull out, according to your bestial custom, what is convenient, but to say that you justify the bestial custom of robbing anyone who is weaker than you - the gut is thin! For weaklings in life!

              Is this contract worth something? And will it be worth it if strong interests come from outside? You know the answer yourself, right ?! The Arab coalition also made friends against Israel all together, Israel won, and these betrayed each other and fled through the burrows.
              But based on the topic, this is not friendship, but partners of interest at the moment. If the Turks start to smash one of the "friends", that's where all the friendship will manifest itself.

              Many who and with whom signed contracts, did not remain friends. You naively think that the Arab countries will be friends with the Israelis, it’s good to remain neutral for a while. You are not reading newspapers, but looking at real life.

                It is difficult to have a discussion with a person who has no idea about the subject of the dispute ... Do you even know that for many centuries Jews and Arabs lived peacefully in the same state, respecting each other? History repeats itself - that's all. And there are objective reasons for this. And you are stuck in your frozen convictions at the level of half a century ago, without bothering to delve into the essence of the current events, but with aplomb allowing yourself to draw frivolous conclusions.

                  I know that they lived peacefully for centuries, and only on May 15, 1948, Israel became a state, but where all the kingdoms of David and Solomon went, I don't know, and why the Jews wandered around the world for centuries without their state, I also don't know. And I know that on the night of May 16, 1948, the Diga of the Arab States began a war against the newly formed state. Here is a peace for you that has not come and will not come.
                  The Zion Jews know their history well, they need to be respected, they created the country, and they protect it. But the Galut Jews did not create anything, and they only grind with their tongues.

                    Forgive me, but you, it turns out, are even more ignorant than I thought ... Galut Jews are 2000 years of history, starting with Rashi and Maimonides, revered by Muslims, and ending with Einstein. There is not enough space to fill in the names of the time gap ... Galut talker Einstein ... Galut talker Khariton - Chief Designer of USSR nuclear charges. Your aplomb and fanfare are no less than ignorance. It's a shame, dear!

As well as who are the "Zionists" and "Territorialists". And for some reason, many of you believe that there was a Holocaust of Jews in WWII, but the Holocaust was in Europe, but not in other countries of the world. And so it is necessary to write - "the Holocaust of the Galut Jews."

                        Listen, well, and a mess in your head! What does the Holocaust have to do with it? In your comments you are trying to divide the Jews into Galut and, conditionally, Israeli, without understanding the essence of Galut. It was the Galut Jews at the very beginning of the Middle Ages who created the ideological basis that provided the possibility of preserving the identity of the people who lived in the diaspora for 2000 years. The history of mankind knows no such example. Without Galut there would be no Israel today. I tried to explain this to you as briefly and clearly as possible. Please do not write about what you absolutely do not know.

This is how the First Arab-Israeli War began, and I will not list those states that attacked Israel.
              But let me remind you that with the beginning of the League's aggression, only the Soviet delegation to the UN declared that if the Arabs did not want to reckon with the UN decision, then Israel received the right to disregard the established borders, and could expand its territory, which happened as a result of Israel's victory in the Arab-Israeli war. I think you should know this, but if not, then dig in and find.

        It can be seen that they are still afraid of the Turks, the races are so united. But they forgot about Pakistan, Indonesia, Afghanistan. These 3 countries with knives for Turkey will climb into battle. Only the Afghans with knives will put all of Greece in place.
        For France - Turkey is not Libya, it will strike so that it will not seem a little.
        And England would rather side with Turkey than Greece.
        Israel and Turkey have someone to try on, they have mutual friends and common enemies. Also common interests.
        At the last moment, if 70 million Turks in the form of refugees flee to Europe, then all European countries themselves will throw stones at France for such a prank.

    The main question here is whether the Israelis themselves decided to try to pull the Sultan, or were they very "asked" by the Yankees about this? Not the others do not need a strong Turkey, "Balevar cannot bear two," there should be one dominant in the region, and this is clearly not Turkey, from which Erdogad is trying to recreate the sultanate. Turkey must at any cost return to the forvater of US politics, or else they will eventually start burning tires and shouting Erdogad go away ...

    Why are "partners" and "friends" shaking their fists at each other? Understanding: The Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is divided into 12 blocks and is potentially gas rich. In November last year, Cyprus issued its first operating licenses to three energy giants - Noble Energy, Shell and Delek.

    These 25-year contracts allow for the 12 Aphrodite gas field discovered in Block 2011 south of the island.

    Aphrodite's reserves are estimated at 127,4 billion cubic meters of gas. Nicosia, according to calculations by the Ministry of Energy, will receive about $ 9,3 billion over 18 years.

    Italy's ENI and France's Total are also stepping up geological exploration in the western part of the shelf, in Block 6 in the Calypso area, which may contain from 170 to 225 billion m3 of gas.

    Meanwhile, to the south, in Block 10, the American giant ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum announced the discovery in 2019 of the Glavk-1 field, which can produce 130 billion cubic meters of gas.
    The Eastern Mediterranean has been “a haven for researchers in the last decade with giant cheap gas discoveries,” say Rystad Energy analysts Aditya Saraswat and Pranav Joshi.

    In Israeli waters in January 2020, a local company, Delek, began exploiting the Leviathan field, located 130 kilometers off the coast of Haifa. Discovered a decade earlier, it is estimated to contain 539 billion m3 of natural gas.

    The Tamar field, just 50 miles from Haifa, has been in operation since 2013 with reserves estimated at 238 billion m3. In addition, there are smaller deposits in Israel, including Tanin and Karish.

    Neighboring Egypt also has a giant offshore field, the Zohr, discovered in August 2015 by ENI and potentially containing 850 billion cubic meters.
    To transport this abundance of gas to Europe in order to reduce energy dependence on Russia, Cyprus, Greece and Israel entered into an agreement in December 2018 to build a gas pipeline dubbed East Med.

    This 1367-mile pipeline is to pass 106 miles south of Cyprus and, after crossing the Greek island of Crete and mainland Greece, reach Otranto (southern Italy).

    The construction cost is estimated at $ 7 billion, the throughput capacity is 20 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

    However, the pipeline will have to be built for several more years: it will not be commissioned until 2025 (the earliest). Https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/news/gas-fields-and-tensions-in- the-eastern-mediterranean /. It is only clear that there are no frenzied fountains with space debit like in Yamal, everything else is still shrouded in darkness for the curious.

    Nobody hid the search for gas, since 2011 the Turks have ransacked their waters first with the help of Western campaigns, since 2017, having bought ships for research themselves. Found - said they found. It's ridiculous to think about selling to Europe, Turkey itself is hardly enough for 6-7 years, if it is still allowed to be dumped for a penny, it is better not to start development at all.
    The same story with the S-400: no one put a knife to anyone's throat, the Turks announced their conditions at the tender, Russia agreed with them. This is not the first time I read this infantile whining. NATO, traitors everywhere, enemies everywhere ... The Turks bought the S-400 with a big scandal from the United States, falling under sanctions and exposing their economy to a serious blow, if you remember. It is not possible to expel the Turks from NATO, but you can quietly merge, creating a chain of conflicts around the perimeter and bringing down the economy, and this is what the Saudi-American gang is doing. And their favorite mongrels - the Greeks and Kurds with the French - help them, provoking. Turkey will be overthrown - Russia will lose access to the Mediterranean Sea. So an independent and strong player in the Straits is more profitable for us than the Greeks who willingly fall under the Americans. Although in Russia it is customary to consider the Turks as the primordial enemies, the enemies are not there. And the Turks are better than the pan-Arab world with ultra-Islam.

      Although in Russia it is customary to consider the Turks as the primordial enemies, the enemies are not there
      the whole question has long been hampered by Turkey itself, since the 18th century Russia would like to have a strong friendly alliance and not fight, the last such opportunity was missed by Nicholas 2, when the Turks offered to side with Russia in WWI to guarantee the preservation of the Ottoman Empire, his desire to possess Constantinople then outweighed common sense, although there were no guarantees that the Turks after the war would not move somewhere else, the same was not hi

    It is high time to stop Turkey. Now, I hope, it will be possible to stop these inclinations ... Or maybe, what the jester does not draw, and completely expel the Turks from Cyprus. Cyprus is an exclusive zone of Christianity, there is no place for Islam, as well as for Asian Turkish faces in a civilized European society.

    Israel can afford to be friends with Turkey's enemy, Greece:
    Israel entered the top 8 most powerful countries in the world (economy, influence in the political arena, military power, leadership in the world), leaving ahead: USA, Russia, China, Germany, Great Britain, France, Japan.
    Aliyev seeks to "make friends" his allies, Turkey and Israel. After all, Turkish drones are made using Israeli technology ... but Azerbaijan itself rivets them, with the help of Israel ...

    After the collapse of the shipping industry, what is Greece producing? From manufactured goods?

    Write out of envy?
    Greeks coped with the crisis and reached the level of GDP 2 times higher than in Russia.

    What is it, is it ?! Have you misled anything? Maybe twice as high as that of Ukraine? wassat
    Where and when did they manage?
    It turns out, the Greeks bypassed the Britos too)))

    After your words, every Chinese should strangle himself, not like a Russian)))
    Only this will not make the Greek economy closely comparable with the Russian and, moreover, with the Chinese.
    Why didn't you remember that Greece's debt is almost two of its such excellent GDPs?
    It's interesting, of course, when they try to compare a mouse with an elephant.

    But with Russia and its partners in the BV

    and who are the partners?

    Yes. Russia did not work out with partners in BV .. It is quite objective what to do.
    Ps. The pro-Iranian rate has not played yet either, and the Turks are also bending their line.

    If there were political will and economic benefits, you would find a common language with Iran, for example, the United States, the Saudi terrorists, who dropped two towers in front of the whole World, in New York in 2001, would not interfere with the Saudi terrorists, the KSA is a good partner of the United States to this day, and yours lately, too, but since your economy and the military-industrial complex are imprisoned for war, you constantly need an external enemy, even if it does not exist, you (Israel) will come up with it to cut Loot, well, the United States constantly maintains your economy in good shape , after all, the largest Jewish diaspora is there, behind a puddle. So the realization of coexistence with neighbors is peaceful, unfortunately it won't come to you for a long time, especially if you perceive Russia in the BV only as a competitor ..

    // need an external enemy //
    And the Kremlin is such a special type and is not looking for an external enemy ... This is generally a common place in the politics of many states. So it's absurd to blame Israel for this .. which is really surrounded by Arab countries.

    voyaka "Our relations with Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia have already improved."
    I doubt it.))) If there is some kind of coalition against your country, they will be against your country anyway. They can be forced into peace for a time, by force of arms and nothing more. And the Turks are essentially an ally against Iran.))) And vice versa, Iran is an ally against Turkey. Otherwise it won't be there.)))

    In fact, all Arab monarchies and regimes are too young for a leadership role; Iranians are simply outcasts. And the Turks, well, if not for Erdogan they had potential ..

    Aplomb and fanfare you have no less than ignorance. It's a shame, dear!

    It's time to know about your nationality, although you know perfectly well who the Galut Jews are. You are ashamed not to know. As well as who are the "Zionists" and "Territorialists". And for some reason, many of you believe that there was a Holocaust of Jews in WWII, but the Holocaust was in Europe, but not in other countries of the world. And so it is necessary to write - "the Holocaust of the Galut Jews."

    I myself would not dare to appreciate the role of the "galyut" -link, exile. Although my great-great-grandfather in the time of Catherine was precisely a "galyut Jew". All this is complicated, but you are so bold, I do not think that this is necessary.
