Greece calls for two-state solution to end Israeli-Palestinian conflict

ATHENS, May 21 — Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis on Monday urged the international community to promote the two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
During his meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry in Athens, Gerapetritis urged for enhanced joint efforts to halt the hostilities, release hostages and secure flow of humanitarian aid without hinderance to the Gaza people in need, Greek national news agency AMNA reported.
Thanking Egypt for its mediation efforts for a ceasefire agreement, Gerapetritis voiced his opposition to a spread of hostilities in Rafah in southern Gaza while reiterating that Greece advocated for a lasting peace through a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 35,386, health authorities in Gaza said Saturday.
