SYRIZA Leader Tsipras Voices Gaza Statement

The protest was coordinated by Leftist entities, Palestinian groups and immigrants, that rallied against the Israeli military acts in Gaza. Supporters marched to Syntagma Square, the U.S. Embassy and the European Commission Representation offices in Athens.

Tsipras declared: "Palestine is in perpetual war - this war must stop at some point; this brutality cannot be tolerated…When civilians and children are killed at beaches facing the same sea that borders the European continent, we cannot remain passive, because if this happens on the other side of the Mediterranean today, it can happen on our own side tomorrow. I want to note that the voices of solidarity movements are, for the first time, uniting under a strong movement within Israel”, as reported by ANA-MPA.
