[01] Israeli foreign ministry statement regarding new Samaras gov't
The Israeli foreign ministry on Thursday issued its best wishes on
the occasion of the assumption of power by the new Samaras government
in Greece.
"Israel wishes the new government of Greece much success in facing
the complex economic challenges which lay ahead for the country. We
share the hope that the government of Antonis Samaras will lead Greece
towards a better future. The State of Israel will continue to nurture
its friendship with the Greek people and their government, and will
endeavour to widen the ties between the two countries," the statement
reads, while also referring to the representation, in Parliament, of
the ultra-nationalist Chryssi Avgi (Golden Dawn) party.
"Israel shares the concern of the democratic forces in Greece regarding
the 18 members of the Golden Dawn party in the Greek parliament and
the possible influence of this group on the development of racist,
xenophobic and anti-Semitic ideas in the country. We trust in the
ability of Greece to tackle this challenge too, and to preserve its
ancient democratic values."
