Meeting FM, Netanyahu backs Greece in spat with Turkey

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells visiting Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias that he backs Athens in its dispute with Turkey.

“We view with severity any aggressive action in the eastern Mediterranean from any actor, including Turkey,” Netanyahu says at the start of a meeting between the two.

He notes that Israel and Greece, who are collaborating on a gas pipeline with Cyprus, have “shared geopolitical interests.”

Netanyahu says that the two will also discuss the resumption of bilateral travel.
