Gerapetritis: Concern over Situation in Lebanon and West Bank

Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis expressed his concern over the deteriorating situation in Lebanon and the West Bank during a meeting with his German counterpart, Johann Wandenpuhl, in Berlin. Mr. Gerapetritis assured that Greece supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, as well as its efforts to maintain stability and the new president's desire for direct negotiations with Israel. In addition, the minister expressed his concern over developments in the West Bank and the risk of creating facts on the ground. He stressed that the only viable solution is the creation of a Palestinian state that will guarantee the security of both Palestinians and Israelis. Mr. Gerapetritis emphasized the need for reform of the Palestinian Authority so that it is able to effectively govern Gaza and the West Bank. Greece, according to the minister, is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to contribute to the effort for peace and stability in the region.
