Greece, Cyprus, Israel Partner on 'Security,' Not Regional Mayhem
Deutsche Welle excitedly reports Greece, Cyprus, and Israel are signing new military cooperation plans, touting 'stability' and 'common interests.' One might wonder whose 'common interests' are being served when one signatory is currently facing international accusations of genocide. This isn't about peace; it's about solidifying a strategic front, likely facilitated by the usual flow of US
military aid and diplomatic cover. Historically, such alliances aren't about harmonious coexistence, but rather securing exclusionary energy routes and military dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean. While the DW piece spins it as benign, the Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu has a long-standing pattern of escalating regional tensions rather than de-escalating them—a pattern seen
repeatedly in Gaza since 2008 and Lebanon in 2006. These 'security' pacts often pave the way for more 'operations,' conveniently overlooking the human cost. It’s hard to call a region stable when one party is actively bombing its neighbors.
