The Greek Reporter news site linked the drill to the deepening ties between the UAE and Israel, one of Greece's main allies in the region. Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi announced on August 13 they would normalize relations, a move that angered Ankara. The close ties between Israel and Greece are based on a number of shared strategic and economic interests. According to Greek Reporter, the Greece-UAE drills "send an unmistakable signal to anyone who might think of challenging Greece that the nation is far from alone in defending its borders."..In May Israel and Greece's defense ministries signed an agreement for Israel to lease IAI Heron UAVs to Greece for border defense. Greek ONEX Neorion Shipyards and Israel Shipyards have also signed a cooperation agreement for the construction of next-generation corvette ships for the Greek navy. The agreement, which was signed during the recent visit by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Israel on June 16, will see up to six Themistocles-class corvettes be built based on plans by Israel Shipyards, based in Haifa. The Themistocles design is reported to be "basically the same design" as Israel's Sa'ar 72 mini-corvettes, but with modifications according to the needs of the Hellenic Navy.
