The Greek prime minister, speaking just before entering an extraordinary EU Council summit in Brussels, also expressed support for the Trump administration's 'Board of Peace', but only for Gaza

U.S. President Donald Trump said he supports a newly appointed Palestinian technocratic body to govern Gaza during a fragile ceasefire’s second phase, as mediators prepare to tackle disarmament, further Israeli withdrawal and post-war governance

Ali Shaath, chosen to administer Gaza under a U.S.-backed plan, says war debris could be pushed into the Mediterranean to create new land and speed reconstruction. He aims to clear rubble in three years and rebuild the enclave within seven

Israel vows never to fully withdraw from Gaza, planning civilian-military units while upholding security amid ongoing tensions and following the 2023 Hamas attack

'Greece can act as an honest broker and a reliable interlocutor in the wider region. We plan to participate in the future of Gaza,' FM George Gerapetritis said during the Doha Forum 2025

Israeli warplanes struck Gaza overnight after accusing Hamas of violating a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire, killing at least 26 people as tensions threaten to unravel the truce.

According to these sources, President Trump’s 20-point framework specifies that day-to-day governance of Gaza would be undertaken by Palestinians, under the oversight of an international transitional body - the Board of Peace - chaired by the US president

To avoid another conflict, a clear vision for the future of Gaza and of the entire Occupied Palestinian Territory needs to be articulated and pursued with vigour.

Israel and Hamas reaffirmed their commitment to the fragile truce after airstrikes killed 26 Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers, in the most serious test of the ceasefire brokered earlier this month

George Gerapetritis said Athens was in contact with the Israeli side beforehand and on Thursday

Reports from the region and Europe claim that some 20 Israeli naval vessels approached the flotilla of more than 40 boats carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists

Gerapetritis and Tajani stressed that “Greece and Italy reaffirm the need to ensure humanitarian access to Gaza and to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible.

“Sir Tony”, as he is also known in his native Britain, has been working for several months on a framework for post-conflict governance and reconstruction in Gaza

Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis says Athens has informed Israel of Greek citizens’ participation in the mission, while downplaying a recent drone attack on the ships

Italian and Spanish warships head south of Crete after alleged Israeli drone attacks, while Turkey’s opposition urges Erdogan to deploy the navy to protect activists.

Speaking at the UN, Greece’s foreign minister condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, called for unrestricted aid access, and reiterated Athens’ support for a two-state solution as the only path to lasting peace
