Dobrindt seeks Israeli help to boost German cyber defense

German Interior Minister Dobrindt plans to collaborate with Israel to enhance Germany's cyber defense capabilities, aiming to establish a "Cyberdome." This initiative addresses growing concerns about cyberattacks and espionage. Dobrindt's visit to Israel follows discussions about strengthening civil protection and warning systems, drawing from Israeli experiences. The partnership will focus on bolstering cyber and drone defense, including a joint German-Israeli cyber defense center. The move comes amid rising tensions and the ongoing Gaza conflict, with Dobrindt also expressing support for Israel's security while advocating for increased humanitarian aid in Gaza.
