A major crisis is unfolding in Greece, where Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's plane was spotted. The opposition party SYRIZA reacted to the phone call between Prime Minister Mitsotakis and Netanyahu, stating, "The Mitsotakis government's unconditional ally policy is leading Greece into international isolation."
The Netanyahu crisis in Greece continues to escalate. As reactions persist regarding Netanyahu's plane heading to Athens following the Iranian attack, the opposition party SYRIZA in Greece reacted to the phone call between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"MITSOTAKIS' PEACE WISHES ARE INSUFFICIENT"
In a statement made by SYRIZA, it was noted that during the conversation, Mitsotakis once again refrained from explicitly condemning the Tel Aviv administration, instead emphasizing that Iran should not acquire nuclear weapons. The statement highlighted that the Greek Prime Minister's reliance on wishes for peace and calls for a diplomatic solution is inadequate.
The statement claimed that despite Greece's temporary membership in the UN Security Council, it has not taken any concrete diplomatic steps to support calls for a ceasefire, and that the government's passive stance has also led to silence regarding the obstruction of Greek activists wanting to deliver aid to Gaza by Egypt.
"ACTION IS NEEDED, NOT WORDS"
The statement included, "Respect for international law and peace requires action, not words. The Mitsotakis government's unconditional ally policy is leading Greece into isolation on the international stage."
NETANYAHU'S PLANE SPOTTED IN GREECE
The official plane used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "Wings of Zion," landed at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in Athens, Greece, on June 13, 2025. This development raised claims that, following Israel's airstrikes against Iran, family members of Cabinet members were taken to Athens due to the potential threat of retaliation from Iran. Greece's stance on this issue has sparked reactions.
