Greece–Israel relations : ウィキペディア英語版 | Greece–Israel relations
Greek-Israeli relations refers to the bilateral relations between Greece and Israel. Since May 1991,〔(Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs )〕 diplomatic relations between the two countries have been upgraded from Diplomatic Representation to Embassy level. Greece is represented in Israel through its embassy in Tel Aviv, its Consulate General in Jerusalem, and an honorary consulate in Haifa. Israel is represented in Greece through its embassy in Athens. Whilst relations between the two countries have been less warm in the late 20th century, since 2008 they have become the strongest relations in the Eastern Mediterranean. Israel and Greece consider each other as their stronger collaborator in the aspects of military, intelligence, economy and culture. Both countries are part of the Energy Triangle which referred to the extraction of oil and gas from both Israel and Cyprus by 2015, which will be delivered to mainland Europe with a pipeline through Greece. ==History==
Greece recognized the State of Israel in 15 March 1949〔http://www.archives.gov.il/archivegov_eng/publications/electronicpirsum/greece/introduction1.htm〕 but was diplomatically represented in Tel Aviv on lower-than-embassy level. Bilateral trade doubled between 1989 and 1995. That year Israel exported $200 million worth of chemicals and oil products to Greece and imported $150 million worth of cement, food, and building materials. Israel is the second largest importer of Greek products in the Middle East. In the 1990s, Greece signed a defense cooperation agreement with Israel. While Greece has traditionally been supportive of the Palestinians, efforts were made to improve ties with Israel.〔(TDS travel document systems )〕 Tensions existed due to Israel's perception of Greek favoritism towards the Arabs and support of terrorists, particularly under Andreas Papandreou who was Greek prime minister twice, in 1981–89 and 1993-96.〔("GREECE AND THE MIDDLE EAST" ) Spiros Ch. Kaminaris, ''Middle East Review of International Affairs'', volume 3, number 2 (June 1999).〕 Israeli military cooperation with Turkey in the 1990s also contributed to the poor relations,〔(Greek-Israel Relations )〕 as have controversies over the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem.〔(Israel to recognize Greek Patriarch )〕 In August 2010, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu became the first Israeli Prime Minister to visit Greece. On his two-day tour, the Prime Minister discussed with the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou the possibility of expanding strategic ties and establishing greater cooperation between the nations' militaries and related industries. Israeli diplomats expressed their consent to expand ties with Greece since relations with Turkey soured following the Gaza flotilla incident in May 2010.〔http://www.todayszaman.com/newsDetail_getNewsById.action?newsId=271575〕
