The Greek opposition pressures the government/ Demands to recognize Palestine as

The main Greek opposition party SYRIZA has announced that it is putting pressure on the government to recognize the state of Palestine, reports Turkish media Anadolu.

The party's chairman, Stefanos Kasselakis, said it is time to take a history lesson from the friendship between the Greek people and the Palestinian people, starting with former prime minister Andreas Papandreou and former president Yasser Arafat.

He also added that it is time to return this friendship to the forefront of Greek foreign policy.

Kasselakis also spoke about his visit to the West Bank, where he met with senior Palestinian officials and was presented with information and visuals showing the destruction in Gaza by Israel.

SYRIZA is using this moment to increase pressure on the Greek government to follow the example of other countries such as Spain, Ireland and Norway in recognizing the Palestinian state.

"So what was supposed to be Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas has now become a bloodbath, an endless massacre," Kasselakis said, adding that "the Western world, Europe, Greece can no longer tolerate what is happening in Gaza", said party chairman Stefanos Kasselakis.

"Europe must have an opinion. It cannot follow America's example in all its negotiations with Israel, Palestine and the Arab countries. Europe must have a point of view, and that point of view and activity must be in favor of peace", he added./ CNA
