Israel and Germany signed a security agreement to deal with the threat from Iran

Israel and Germany signed a security agreement to expand cooperation in counter-terrorism and cyber defense, and mentioned the threat from Iran and its Allies.

The AFP reported that the office of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a statement on Sunday (January 11) saying: "Iran and its proxies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and the Houthi armed group, not only threaten Israel, but also regional stability and international security."

The declaration signed today consolifies the cooperation between Israel and Germany in the fields of cyber security, counter-terrorism and advanced technologies.

"Israel's enemies should know: We are everywhere, always keeping a close watch on them." "

This declaration was signed by Netanyahu and visiting German Interior Minister Dobrint.

Netanyahu said in another statement, "I believe Germany and Israel are natural partners." We have collaborated on the Arrow III anti-ballistic missile defense system and in many other fields.

The statement said that this initiative officially established a broad security partnership between the security agencies of Israel and Germany.

Last month, Germany approved a $3.1 billion contract expansion plan for the Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missile defense system. This system is manufactured in Israel and developed with the support of the United States. This contract, which was initially signed in 2023, is now worth approximately 6.5 billion US dollars. The Israeli side said that this is Israel's largest military export contract to date.

On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal on the 11th quoted several US officials as saying that US President Trump is expected to receive a briefing from senior officials on the specific plan for Iran on the 13th. It is reported that the meeting on the 13th will discuss the next steps that the United States may take against Iran, including military strikes, the deployment of secret cyber weapons against Iranian military and civilian targets, imposing more sanctions on the Iranian government, and strengthening support for Iranian anti-government online information sources.

Iran has warned that if the United States launches any attack on Tehran, Israel and the US military bases in the Middle East will become "legitimate targets" for its counterattack. Sources revealed that as anti-government demonstrations in Iran intensify, Israel is remaining highly vigilant against possible US intervention.
