Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the fifth summit of the Trilateral Partnership Israel-Greece-Cyprus on Thursday.
"This is the fifth summit meeting between our countries, and our personal friendship grows stronger as the agreements get longer and become more detailed. These ties are based not only on common interests and geographic proximity, but they are also based on shared values in a very volatile and violent region," Netanyahu said.
"We share a long history and a rich culture. The three of us are vital democracies that cherish pluralism, freedom and peace; The forces of terrorism and religious extremism threaten all of us. The alliance between us is an anchor of stability and prosperity in the Middle East, "added Netanyahu.
