Israel and Cyprus have signed a significant defense export agreement, under which Israel will construct a new maritime patrol vessel for Cyprus and upgrade existing naval systems. The deal, finalized during a ceremony on Cyprus attended by officials from both nations, was reported by Channel 14.
Signing the agreement were Eyal Zamir, Director General of Israel's Ministry of Defense, and Stelios Kontoris, Acting Permanent Secretary of Cyprus's Ministry of Defense. The export agency SIBAT and Cyprus's Directorate for the Development of Armaments and Defense Capabilities facilitated the project. Israel Shipyards will build the new OPV-class vessel, while Rafael will develop and install its protective and combat systems.
The contract also includes the modernization of equipment on the IOANNIDES patrol ship, previously acquired by Cyprus from the same Israeli shipyard. These enhancements are expected to bolster the operational capabilities of the Cypriot Navy, enabling more effective maritime border patrols, surveillance, and search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean.
Officials from the Israeli Ministry of Defense emphasized the agreement's importance for regional stability. Attendees at the signing included Yair Kulas, Head of SIBAT; Shuli Davidovich, Israel's Ambassador to Cyprus; Eitan Zuker, Director General of Israel Shipyards; and Ran Tavor, Head of Naval Systems at Rafael. The deal solidifies a strategic security partnership between Jerusalem and Nicosia.
