| Greece, Israel look to new era of strategic cooperation |

| h/t Gates of Vienna Athens and Tel Aviv have agreed to strengthen bilateral ties, the leaders of the two Mediterranean countries said on Tuesday as reported by daily Kathimerini. During an official visit by Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras in Israel on Tuesday, in which he is accompanied by eight of his ministers including Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos, the two states signed a number of agreements and collaboration protocols in their first-ever government-to-government meeting. The talks between Environment Minister Yiannis Maniatis and his counterpart Uzi Landau focused on major energy infrastructure projects, including the construction of a gas pipeline between Israel, Cyprus and Greece, and the transport of liquefied gas with Greek ships. And also, maybe, teaching Turks that the Grand Porte is long dead. |

| #7 It is a good way to box in the Turks. Israel and Greece really should be making nice with Putin and guarantees that a restored Constantinople would always welcome Russian ships. |
