PM thanks Germany for agreeing to sell submarines
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises the German government for signing a memorandum of understanding to provide Israel with submarines.
The understanding has “strategic importance for the security of Israel, and the signing of it shows the obligations that Germany and Chancellor Angela Merkel has toward Israel’s security and the deep cooperation between the two countries,” Netanyahu’s office says.
The prime minister specifically thanks Merkel, the defense minister and the foreign minister for the memorandum of understanding, his office says.
