Prime Minister’s Office:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a historic joint declaration yesterday (Sunday) with the German Minister of the Interior, Alexander Dobrindt:
“Iran and its proxies – Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis – threaten not only Israel but also regional stability and international security. The declaration signed today anchors deep cooperation with Germany in the fields of cyber, counter-terrorism, and advanced technologies, and translates a security commitment into joint action. Israel‘s enemies should know: our eyes are on them at all times and in all places.”
The declaration signed anchors Germany’s deep commitment to the security of the State of Israel, and elevates the security-technological cooperation between the countries to a new strategic level.
The declaration formalizes a broad security partnership between the security authorities of the two countries in the fields of cyber defense, advanced technologies, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and civil defense, and reflects Germany’s historical responsibility – including strengthening Holocaust remembrance and cooperation with Yad Vashem.
The signing of the declaration, especially against the backdrop of the Hamas attack on October 7th, constitutes a defining moment in deepening the security, technological, and values-based alliance between Israel and Germany.
