The former prime minister made new intervention via facebook, Alexis Tsiprasthis time for Greece’s refusal to make recognition state of Palestine and the imposition of sanctions against the Netanyahu government.

Alexis Tsipras wrote: “Since Sunday that we have spent a series of European and other Western states, they have recognized the state of Palestine: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France and Portugal. They have announced that other European states such as Malta and Luxembourg will do. It had been preceded by the first wave of recognition a few months ago, with Ireland, Spain, Norway and Slovenia.

A total of more than 140 UN Member States have recognized the state of Palestine. But Greece insists on belonging to the minority of countries. On the wrong side of the story and the world map.

Under the responsibility of the government, although our country is a member of the UN Security Council, it not only refuses to participate in this coordinated recognition of a Palestinian state, but also stands with countries blocking the imposition of European sanctions on the Netanyahu government.

We don’t deserve such a shame. It is not worth in our history and the struggles of our people who have made Greece synonymous with freedom and justice.
Our country must immediately recognize the Palestinian state and support the imposition of sanctions on Netanyahu’s government.

He must stand with the Palestinians and Israelis who are struggling daily at the risk of their lives, for peace, ending humanitarian disaster and starvation in Gaza, returning hostages and a two -state solution on the basis of UN decisions. “
