President Sakellaropoulou reiterates Geece's support to Israeli counterpart Herzog

Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou reiterated her condemnation of the barbaric and abhorrent attack of Hamas in a call with Israel's president Isaac Herzog on Tuesday, adding that terrorism can never be justified and legalized.

Sakellaropoulou expressed Greece's solidarity to Israel and its people, her sadness over the lives lost during the terrorist attack, and the hope those injured recover soon. Abductions and inhuman treatment are condemnable, she said, and called for the release of those kidnapped and held as war prisoners in the Gaza Strip so they may return to their countries.

Herzog thanked Sakellaropoulou for Greece's immediate support and solidarity, and updated her on recent developments.
