[01] FM Venizelos on Egyptian initiative of Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire
ANA-MPA -- Greece supports the Egyptian initiative for a ceasefire in
the Israel-Palestine conflict, government Vice President and Foreign
Minister Evangelos Venizelos said in phone calls to Foreign ministers
of Israel Avigdor Liberman, Palestine Riyad al-Malki and Egypt Sameh
Shoukry on Tuesday.
Venizelos congratulated his Egyptian counterpart for the initiative which
he said was the only practical solution at this time, and reassured him
of Greece's readiness to offer its good services to de-escalate tension
and restore communication channels and the peace process between Israel
and Palestine.
Earlier in the day, Israel's counsellor in Athens Tammy Ben Haim said
during a press conference at the Israeli embassy that "Israel looks
to a strong and viable ceasefire and already this morning accepted the
Egyptian plan for a ceasefire putting an end to hostilities with Hamas,
which, however, continued its launching of rockets up to late afternoon."
