Israel and Greece Sign $2.7 Billion Defense Deal
Israel and Greece have signed a significant defense agreement, codenamed "Achilles Shield," valued at over 10 billion shekels (approximately $2.7 billion USD). The deal, finalized between the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Hellenic Ministry of National Defence, will see Israel establish a multi-layered defense system in Greece.
This advanced defense network will incorporate several Israeli-made defense systems. These include Rafael's David's Sling (known as 'Kela David' in Hebrew) and Spyder missile defense systems, along with the Barak MX system developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
The agreement has faced criticism from the Greek opposition, which has been described as pro-Palestinian. The specific nature of this criticism and the opposition's concerns were not detailed in the report.
