According to sources, Mitsotakis repeated his support for Israel and its right to self defence. He also noted that the rules of engagement of an organised state can not be equated with those of a terrorist organisation and underlined the need to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
The Greek premier stressed that Europe must speak with a single voice on a crucial issue of regional but also European security.
