February 1, 2026, at 10:20, military historian Grigory Tamar voiced an idea that has already sparked a lively discussion among experts. According to him, Ukraine, Israel, and Germany are capable of creating an unexpected but extremely powerful military alliance — potentially the strongest in Europe.
This is not about declarations or symbolic gestures. Tamar speaks of a practical, structural alliance based on the real capabilities of the parties: combat experience, industrial base, and technological potential.
He discussed this in an interview with Anastasia Fedor on YouTube, emphasizing that such a format of cooperation already has historical and technological precedents. In particular, Israel has long and consistently implemented joint defense projects with Germany — and this level of interaction, according to the expert, can and should be elevated to a new height.
“If I were in the place of our Israeli politicians, I would go even further,” Tamar stated. “I would say: let’s completely reformat the relations and create a tripartite alliance — Israel, Ukraine, and Germany. We don’t need to invent anything. We already have it. We can help Germany rebuild its army by combining Israeli combat experience, German industry, and Israeli technology.”
The key idea is synergy. Israel brings to the alliance the experience of real 21st-century wars and proven defense solutions. Germany — industrial power and production chains. Ukraine — an army that has undergone a full-scale war against Russia and understands modern warfare not theoretically, but practically.
According to Tamar’s assessment, such an alliance would quickly become the dominant military force in Europe. And not in the distant future, but in the foreseeable future.
“By creating such a tripartite alliance, we can become the dominant force in Europe. Putin would run away with his tail between his legs,” the expert stated without diplomatic phrasing.
He separately addressed potential criticism within Israel — from those who believe that a European war is “not our problem.” Tamar reminded of the direct and documented ties between Russia and Israel’s enemies.
According to him, the Israeli army discovered a significant amount of modern Russian weapons in Hezbollah’s warehouses during operations in Lebanon. Moreover, the Israeli Air Force destroyed a considerable amount of Russian weaponry in Iran during the Twelve-Day War.
This context, the expert emphasizes, makes the war against Ukraine a matter not of abstract geopolitics, but of direct Israeli security.
In the middle of the discussion, NANews — Israel News | Nikk.Agency notes: Tamar’s idea fits into a broader trend — the realization that modern security is not divided into “regional” and “foreign.” Weapons, technologies, and military alliances have long ceased to be local.
The proposal for a tripartite alliance remains an expert hypothesis for now. But the very fact of its public discussion reflects a shift in thinking: from cautious distancing to seeking new forms of strategic cooperation.
In conditions where Russia is consistently expanding the zone of destabilization from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, such ideas no longer seem like fantasy. They become part of a serious conversation about the future architecture of security in Europe and Israel.
