Multimillion dollar arms deal signed by Berlin and Jerusalem will help Israel protect its gas pipelines
Times of Israel
Germany has signed a multimillion dollar arms deal with Israel, Germany’s Bild newspaper reported Saturday.
Within the framework of the deal, Germany will reportedly supply Israel with two guided missile destroyers, each valued at one billion euros.
The destroyers will be used to protect Israel’s gas pipelines.
In April, Der Spiegel reported that Israel may sell technologically advanced attack drones to the German military.
According to the German weekly, the German defense ministry proposed the purchase several months ago, and German representatives have already held two meetings with IDF officials to discuss the matter.
Germany has in the past expressed interest in developing drone technology along with France, in order to avoid dependency on American or Israeli technology.
