According to the report, Greece is analysing implementing Israeli measures, as well as offering a coordinated response mechanism to possible threats by enemy states.<\/p>\n

Israel and Greece<\/a> are working on a fast response mechanism with 2500 soldiers to act as a counter to the growth of Turkey\u2019s forces, Greek newspaper TA NEA<\/em> reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Greece is considering implementing Israeli measures and offering a coordinated response mechanism to protect against potential threats from enemy states, top defense officials cited by the newspaper said.<\/p>\n

The report explains that Israel, Greece, and Cyprus<\/a> will have access to this force, which will have air and sea capabilities.<\/p>\n

“A Greek-Israeli rapid reaction force is not an alliance against anyone. It fills a strategic void. From Rhodes to Cyprus and Israel, platforms, pipelines, and electricity cables are exposed,\u201d said an official to TA NEA<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The official also emphasized the importance of this infrastructure not only for Greece but for Europe as a whole, as a key asset for delivering natural gas, oil, and electricity to the continent.<\/p>\n
