SYRIZA PS “he unequivocally condemns her terrorist attack in Tel Aviv which cost the lives of several civilians, among them a Greek national and expresses its sincere condolences to the families of the victims.”

In a joint statement, the Foreign Policy Department and the International Relations Department of the party note that “the new escalation of tension in the Middle East significantly increases the security deficit in the wider region and results in the tragic loss of civilians.” They emphasize that “in this light, the UN, the EU and the international community as a whole must take the necessary initiatives to immediately end these aggressive actions and demonstrate the necessary restraint from all parties involved in order to avoid a generalized conflict in the Middle East”.

SYRIZA calls on the government “to take the necessary measures to provide all possible assistance to the Greek diaspora in the wider region, which is being tested once again by this intense regional conflagration”.

“At the same time, the government must return to the basic principles of the country’s diplomacy, operating, not as an advanced outpost but as a mediator and factor of peace and stability on the basis of international law”, add the Foreign Policy Department and the International Relations Department of the SYRIZA PS.
