Dendias reiterated Greece’s condemnation of the October 7 attacks on Israel and reaffirmed Athens’ support for Israel’s right to self-defense.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz was in Athens on Monday for talks with his Greek counterpart, Nikos Dendias, highlighting strategic defense ties between the two countries.
The visit builds on an already close defense relationship that includes joint military exercises, pilot training programs hosted in Greece, and a recently agreed trilateral military work plan with Cyprus for 2026.
Dendias said cooperation between the two countries continues to deepen, particularly in counter-drone capabilities, cybersecurity, and the exchange of operational experience.
