Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had a telephone conversation with the President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas this afternoon.
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.
