Germany has signed a multimillion dollar arms deal with
Israel, Germany’s Bild newspaper reported Saturday.
Within the framework of the deal, Germany will reportedly
supply Israel with two guided missile destroyers, each valued at one billion
euros.
The destroyers will be used to protect Israel’s gas
pipelines.
In April, Der Spiegel reported that Israel may sell
technologically advanced attack drones to the German military.
According to the German weekly, the German defense ministry
proposed the purchase several months ago, and German representatives have
already held two meetings with IDF officials to discuss the matter.
Germany has in the past expressed interest in developing
drone technology along with France, in order to avoid dependency on American or
Israeli technology.
