Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Benny Gantz speaks to his Cypriot counterpart and the two agree to meet “as soon as possible.”
The call comes amid eastern Mediterranean tensions with Turkey over its oil resources, though the statement does not address this.
“I just spoke with my colleague in Cyprus, Defense Minister Charalambos Petrides. We talked about the strong defense ties between Israel and Cyprus and our broad joint activity,” tweets Gantz. “I told him that I am certain that our cooperation will continue to expand, as will the ties of friendship between our nations. We agreed that we would meet in Jerusalem or Nicosia as soon as possible.”
