December 17, 2025
Greece is considering the creation of a Greek-Israeli rapid reaction force of 2,500 men, which will also involve Cyprus, to counter Turkish provocations. The plan includes soldiers from Greece, Israel, and Cyprus, and will be equipped with naval ships and aircraft. The aim is to enhance strategic stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. Analysts suggest that such a force could fill strategic gaps in the region and protect critical infrastructure. This collaboration seeks to establish a framework for deterrence and resistance against potential challenges.
