At the end of Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Berlin, the prime minister meets with almost 30 executives from leading German defense companies.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu shares with the businesspeople lessons from his experience, and discusses possibilities for cooperation between the defense industries in the two countries.

The two countries are discussing Germany’s desire to purchase Israel’s Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system, which came up in Netanyahu’s meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Months after Russia invaded Ukraine, Germany announced a 100 billion euro rearmament plan.
