The Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Christos Stylianidis, is in Israel, where he will have a series of contacts aimed at strengthening the cooperation between the two countries in the field of Civil Protection.

More specifically, the minister will have a meeting with the Israeli Deputy Minister of Defense, Alon Schuster, with whom they will sign a Memorandum of Cooperation. This is the first Greece-Israel Memorandum signed in the field of Civil Protection. The “present” at the meeting will be the head of the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA), Yoram Laredo.

Mr. Stylianidis will also have meetings with the Minister of Public Security, Omer Bar-Lev, who is in charge of the Fire Brigade, as well as with the Minister of Environmental Protection, Tamar Zandberg. During the meetings, issues of strengthening cooperation between the Fire Brigades of the two countries, as well as issues related to policies to reduce the impact of the climate crisis in the southeastern Mediterranean will be discussed.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Greece and Israel maintain a close relationship of solidarity and mutual assistance in cases of natural disasters. Our country has provided assistance to Israel to deal with forest fires in 2010, 2016 and 2019, while it has received assistance, both in the 1999 earthquake and for forest fires in 2000, 2007 and 2021.
