Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias confirmed Greece’s solidarity with Israel in connection with “barbaric attack by Hamas” and called on all NATO members to take a strong stance on this issue.
In comments to reporters ahead of a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels on Wednesday, Dendias stressed that Greece understands the legitimate expectations of the Palestinians in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions. “However, acts of barbarity such as those committed by Hamas directly undermine these very expectations.” – he emphasized.
In addition, the Greek Minister of Defense added: “Greece has unequivocally sided with the State of Israel in this tragic situation. All member countries of our alliance must do the same. NATO is not only a defensive alliance, but also a coalition of shared values. The barbaric attack by Hamas directly violates the core principles that NATO must stand for “, including human rights, human dignity and security. Each member country of the alliance must express a clear and unwavering position on this issue.”
It must be understood that such a statement by the Minister of Defense could have far-reaching consequences for Greece. If the conflict develops, our country may become the target of attacks from Arab radicals supporting Hamas.
