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.
