Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and hostages, pointed out Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking at the international conference on the provision of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, which is being held in Paris following the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron. The prime minister pointed out that Greece, like Cyprus, are close to the crisis area, noting that the Greek state has already provided, by aerial means, humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis also supported the Cypriot proposal to create a sea corridor for the transfer of humanitarian aid from Cyprus to Gaza and noted that Greece intends to actively participate in the project. Finally, the prime minister stressed the necessity “to start the discussion for a political solution to this conflict, which is the only way to ensure peace and stability in the region”.
