The first joint Israeli-German cabinet session in the German capital is set to convene on Monday. The Israeli Defense Ministry's desire to buy a sixth Dolphin-class diesel submarine from the Germans is likely to figure on the agenda. The Dolphin submarines are among the most sophisticated and capable conventional submarines in the world, and could be equipped with nuclear missiles.
A spokesman for the Merkel administration confirmed to The Jerusalem Post last week that the Islamic Republic and the Mideast peace process would be the subject of talks between the two governments. A joint-cabinet session had been planned for November, but Netanyahu was ill. On March 17, 2008, bilateral relations were strengthened during the first joint cabinet meeting - eight Israeli ministers and seven German ministers participated. A day later, Chancellor Angela Merkel addressed the Knesset.
