The Spin

The Israel-Germany security pact represents a crucial strategic alliance against Iran's destabilizing regional threats through Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. Germany's deployment of the Arrow 3 system and $6.5 billion defense deal demonstrates Europe's recognition that Israel provides essential security technology and partnership. This cooperation strengthens both nations against ballistic missile threats while proving Israel's upward trajectory as countries seek its advanced capabilities.
