Israel backs Greece’s right to defend itself against Turkey's Invasion into its continental shelf

As Turkish Erdogan continues to escalate tensions in the region.
Israel backed Greece’s right to defend itself after Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias released the following warning towards Turkey: "Greece will defend its sovereignty and its rights. We are calling on Turkey to immediately leave the Greek continental shelf," Greek FM said in statements aired on state ERT TV.

Turkey’s ships drilling for oil and gas southwest of Cyprus, in areas claimed by the Greek Cypriot authorities, have come close to a military clash with Greek Navy patrolling the area.
Greece has recently raised its military’s alert level in case it will be forced to defend itself against the Turkish aggression.
As you can see in the tweet embedded below the Israeli Foreign Ministry released the following statement:
"Israel follows closely as tension arises in the Eastern Mediterranean. Israel expresses its full support and solidarity with Greece in its maritime zones and its right to delimit its EEZ."
