Foreign Ministry spokesman Gregory Delavekouras made the following statement regarding yesterday’s attack on a school bus in southern Israel:
“Greece unequivocally condemns the attacks on civilians. We are horrified at the fact that a school bus was hit in yesterday’s attacks in southern Israel, leaving a 16-year-old student seriously wounded.
The death and injury of civilians cannot be justified under any conditions or for any reason.
The recent outbreak of violence points up the need to relaunch the direct negotiations between the parties as the only way to achieve permanent peace in the region.”
