The Prime Minister expressed his deep concern about the situation in the Gaza Strip. Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed the need for a steady flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Prime Minister reiterated the message he also delivered at the Peace Summit in Cairo condemning the October 7 terrorist attacks and Greece‘s position that Hamas is a terrorist organisation and does not represent the Palestinian people.

The Prime Minister stressed that the only legitimate representative of the Palestinian people is the Palestinian Authority. He stressed Greece‘s long-standing support for the two-state solution, and underlined that only a political solution on this basis can guarantee peace between Israelis and Palestinians and stability in the region.
