Joint Greek-Israeli-U.S. Military Drill to Defend Gas Platforms at Sea
(Greek Reporter) A. Papapostolou - Greece, Israel, and the U.S. are conducting joint air and naval exercises from March 26 until April 5, in part to simulate defending sea-borne gas drilling installations around the eastern Mediterranean. The U.S. had conducted similar exercises with Turkey and Israel from 1998-2009, but these were canceled after Turkish president Erdogan suspended military cooperation with Israel in 2010. Last week Israel, Greece and Cyprus announced a deal to cooperate on exploiting natural gas deposits in the Mediterranean.
