Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz met in Jerusalem this Sunday to discuss how to continue to establish technological and military cooperation between the two countries "in a changing world."

At a joint press conference following the meeting, Netanyahu pointed out that the meeting highlighted the area of "high technology and artificial intelligence", which for the Israeli leader constitute "the future of humanity".

Netanyahu has also praised Germany's position on Israel, despite the strain of diplomatic relations in recent months over the attack on Gaza, and has said that the European nation is "committed to Israel's defense."
