Germany plans to establish a joint German-Israeli cyber research centre and enhance cooperation between the intelligence and security agencies of both countries, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated on Sunday.

Germany is one of Israel’s closest allies in Europe, and Berlin has increasingly sought to leverage Israel’s defence expertise as it strengthens its military capabilities and contributions to NATO in response to perceived growing threats from Russia and China.

“Military defence alone is not sufficient for this turning point in security. A significant upgrade in civil defence is also essential to strengthen our overall defensive capabilities," Dobrindt said during a visit to Israel, as reported by Germany’s Bild newspaper.

Dobrindt, appointed by the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz last month, arrived in Israel on Saturday.

According to the Bild report, Dobrindt outlined a five-point plan aimed at establishing what he termed a “Cyber Dome" for Germany, as part of its cyber defence strategy.

Earlier on Sunday, Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Soeder called for the acquisition of 2,000 interceptor missiles to equip Germany with an “Iron Dome" system similar to Israel’s short-range missile defence technology.
