Today marks two years since the heinous terrorist attack against Israel that claimed the lives of civilians and triggered widespread and dangerous escalation throughout the region. Our thoughts remain with the families of the hostages and we call for their immediate release. At the same time, the increase in anti-Semitic incidents, such as the recent attack in Manchester, requires collective action.
Two years after the attacks of October 7, an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in the Gaza Strip.
We call for an immediate ceasefire agreement and the provision of massive and unhindered humanitarian aid.
The Plan of US President Donald Trump offers a tangible opportunity for the hostilities to end. It could also form the basis for the immediate launch of a peaceful political process that will lead to a two-state solution on the basis of International Law and the relevant UN Resolutions to create the conditions for sustainable peace and prosperity in the Middle East.
We welcome the key mediating role of Egypt and Qatar in achieving a lasting and sustainable ceasefire.
Greece, as a reliable interlocutor of the parties involved, stands ready to contribute to the diplomatic efforts to end the war and bring peace to the Middle East.
