Israel, Greece and Cyprus signed a trilateral military cooperation plan for 2026, along with separate bilateral agreements between the Israel Defense Forces and each nation’s armed forces, the IDF announced on Sunday.
The agreement was signed last week in the Cypriot capital Nicosia during an annual meeting of the three countries’ military leadership, the IDF said.
Brig. Gen. Amit Adler, head of the IDF’s International Cooperation Division, led the Israeli delegation in meetings with Greek and Cypriot counterparts.
The plans outline joint military exercises, training programs, working groups and strategic dialogue on shared security interests with the Hellenic Armed Forces and the Cypriot National Guard.
“The signing of these plans represents another step in deepening military cooperation between the countries and contributes to strengthening stability, security and peace in the Eastern Mediterranean region,” the IDF said.
The signing on Dec. 23 came a day after the leaders of the three countries met for a summit in Jerusalem where they advanced an energy deal that will link their electrical grids.
