Greek Forces to Train in Israel as Syriza-Led Government Deepens Alliance
Greek, along with Italian, military forces are soon to train in Israel.
This is the latest indicator of the deepening military alliance being forged between Israel and Greece’s government led by the leftist Syriza party.
Last month, Israeli helicopter pilots completed an unprecedented 11-day combat training exercise near Greece’s Mount Olympus.
In May, the Syriza-led government also signed amilitary accord with Israel,
matched only by a similar one between Israel and the US, granting legal
immunities to each other’s military personnel while training in the
other’s territory.
