His deputy representative Foreign MinistryLana Zochiou, informed the diplomatic authors and by extension the Greek public for 27 Greeks arrested by the Israelis in the sea near Gaza.

“We are in constant communication with Embassy us at Tel Aviv. Greece’s ambassador to Israel will go to the site of all 27 Greek citizens. Both in the past few days and this morning, the Greek Foreign Ministry made protests towards the Israeli side, raising the issue of ensuring the protection of Greek citizens. Yesterday, as you have seen, a joint statement was issued by the Greek and Italian Foreign Ministers, calling on the Israeli authorities to ensure the protection and safety of participants and to allow all consular measures to be provided. It even appealed to the members of the lifelle to take over the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem the safe tradition of assistance, as an expression of solidarity towards Gaza. Greek citizens, according to the latest information, are in good health. It does not appear that violence has been brought against them. In cooperation with other countries, whose citizens are involved in the decoration and are in Israel, all the actions provided for Israel will take place in order to provide the necessary consular assistance. According to the information we have, the procedures for recording, audit, and after the deportation of those involved in the decoration will follow. Our priority is currently the security of citizens. “
