US EditionIsrael Signs Security Pact with Germany, Cites Iran Threat
The pact formalizes joint efforts in cyber defence and counterterrorism against Iran and its proxies, with Germany as Israel's second-largest arms supplier, officials said.
- On Jan 11, Israel and Germany signed a security pact to expand counterterrorism and cyber defence, with Benjamin Netanyahu and Alexander Dobrindt formalising a broad partnership.
- Officials pointed to threats from Iran and its proxies, including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, as the driving cause, while at least 192 people have died and an internet blackout lasted over 60 hours.
- The pact links to large defence contracts already between the two countries, with Germany approving a US$3.1 billion Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system expansion and Israel's largest-ever military export deal now worth US$6.5 billion.
- The declaration states it 'anchors Germany's deep commitment to the security of the State of Israel', while earlier on Jan 11 Gideon Saar urged the European Union to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a 'terrorist organisation'.
- The timing follows past German export restrictions and domestic political reactions, including Germany’s August halt on military exports to Israel for Gaza Strip use and some former Israeli officials welcoming unrest in Iran.
