The escalation of violence in both Jerusalem and Gaza must stop.
Greece expresses its profound concern over the recent rocket attacks against civilians in Israel, which are condemned, and calls for their immediate end.
In parallel, recognizing Israel’s right to self-defence, we reiterate the need for all parties to take action that will lead to immediate de-escalation. Furthermore, steps must also be taken to avoid further civilian casualties.
Greece, as it has stressed in the past regarding the Middle East Peace Process, emphasizes that resolving the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians on the basis of a two-state solution is a prerequisite for overall peace and stability in the region.
