Following the visit of the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis to Israel for the signing memorandum of cooperation with his Israeli counterpart, in a lengthy post on facebook on 9.4.2024 under the title "For Israel" he writes his thoughts and feedback.
"Returning now from my short but creative visit to Israel, I decided to write an article to share with you what I saw and realized there.
The Jews are an ancient historical People who for 3000 years have been actively participating in the making of world's history. From the Translation of the Old Testament of the Septuagint in Alexandria, under Ptolemy, the Greek World and the rest of Humanity through it, came into contact with Religion and their ideas. After all, it is known to everyone that all three great Monotheistic Religions have their roots in Israel and in the Old Testament.
And yet, though one might expect from this alone, that they should have been esteemed by all others, they have instead been hated and have suffered more than any other people. Anti-Semitism, whose peak expression was the Third Reich with the Holocaust being the greatest crime of all times, was not born with Adolf Hitler. From their Massacre and Persecution by the Romans under Vespasian and Titus in the 1st century AD, to their persecution by the Spain of Ferdinand and Isabella in the 15th century, until today, Anti-Semitism is here, present and unfortunately nowadays more intense in various Western countries and due to the events in the Middle East.
But why have the Jews of all the peoples been hated so much by so many different people? The answer is simple in my opinion. This people has some characteristics that make it stand out. Characteristics that led them to excell throughout the centuries. They defend their Identity, but are at the same time innovative. Contradictory characteristics at first sight, but absolutely true.

The president of SYRIZA-PS, Stefanos Kasselakis, met today with the ambassador of Israel, Noam Katz, with whom they discussed the war in Gaza, as well as Greek-Israeli relations.
According to a statement from SYRIZA, "in this context, he underlined the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza with the release of the Israeli hostages, in order to end the humanitarian crisis that is constantly worsening". He reiterated "the clear condemnation of Hamas for the terrorist attacks against civilians on October 7, stressing that confronting it with operations that lead to thousands of dead civilians and intensify the humanitarian crisis, strengthens extremism and destabilization in the wider region. At the same time, it weakens the Palestinian Authority, which is the only Palestinian force that can ensure a future of peace and security in the region."
The president of SYRIZA-PS emphasized that "following the ceasefire, every effort must be made to restart the talks, for a solution of two states that coexist peacefully, based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state".
