Greece signed a $3.5 billion deal Monday with Israel to develop a multilayered air defense array for Athens to counter threats ranging from ballistic missiles to drones.
Israel has signed a major weapons deal with Greece, marking their largest agreement to date. The deal, coined Achilles Shield, is valued at nearly $3.5 billion and includes a multi-layered air defense system for Greece.
It is hoped the delicate cultural diplomacy between France and the UK which resulted in the 230 foot tapestry travelling to the UK for the exhibition could be replicated by a similar deal with Greece.
