The meeting was to advance energy links and security coordination in eastern Mediterranean
Israel is locking in reliable partners on its western maritime flank while turning shared security needs into projects that reshape the map.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a trilateral summit in Jerusalem with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, signaling a push to move the Israel–Greece–Cyprus partnership from routine coordination to big, region-shaping projects.
In Netanyahu’s remarks, he framed this as the “tenth meeting” but potentially the most consequential, arguing the Eastern Mediterranean is being stress-tested by “aggression, terrorism, and instability” and that the trilateral bloc is meant to project steadiness and deterrence while unlocking prosperity.
