Greece Prime Minister George Papandreou and his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Monday that they agreed to expand economic and military cooperation.
It was Israel's highest level delegation to Greece and Netanyahu is reciprocating the visit Papandreou made to Tel Aviv in July.
"We can deepen and broaden our relations with Israel in commercial relations, large investments and tourism as well as security. We are in the same neighborhood and Greece has a vital interest in a two-party solution for Israel and the Palestinians, and we want to contribute to the economy and safety of the region," Papandreou said in a joint press conference after the prime ministers' face-to-face discussions.
Note EU-Digest: Israel should keep its nose out of the EU and stop trying to play games between Greece and Turkey. As to Greece, they certainly can find more productive things to do within the EU than playing along with Mr. Netanyahu's "political" schemes, who is backed up against the wall by the whole world as a result of his disastrous Palestinian policies.
