According to information from DEFENCE ReDEFiNED, preparations are in full swing for the Joint Exercise “Agapinor 2022”, the largest military exercise between Cyprus – Israel that has been conducted to date.
The exercise, which is expected to begin within the week and last until the beginning of June, involves various units of the National Guard, while a large number of personnel and assets is expected to participate from Israel. The exercise, which would have taken place last year but was postponed due to the events in the Gaza Strip, is expected to further strengthen the defence relations between the Republic of Cyprus and Israel.
It is recalled that in March 2022, during the visit of the Chief of the National Guard, Lieutenant General Democritus Zervakis, to Israel, the bilateral defence cooperation program of Cyprus and Israel for 2022 was signed, while earlier in February the program of tripartite defence cooperation of Greece – Cyprus – Israel for 2022 was also signed in Athens. The conduct of joint military exercises with Israel is part of the improved defence relations between Cyprus and Israel, which in addition to joint exercises also includes cooperation in other areas such as equipment and search and rescue operations.
