NextFin news, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Saturday, October 4, 2025, publicly welcomed Hamas's acceptance of the Gaza peace plan, calling it a "significant step forward" in efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict in the region.
Speaking from Athens, Mitsotakis emphasized the importance of the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas and the urgent need to stop hostilities in Gaza. He stated that Greece supports all initiatives aimed at achieving stability and lasting peace in the Middle East.
The peace plan, proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, includes provisions for a ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages, and the establishment of a technocratic governance body in Gaza under international supervision. Hamas's acceptance marks a notable development after years of conflict and blockade in the Gaza Strip.
Mitsotakis's remarks come amid international calls for de-escalation following intense Israeli airstrikes and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where millions of Palestinians have suffered from blockade-induced shortages and violence.
The Greek Prime Minister underscored that while Hamas's acceptance is a positive move, the full implementation of the peace plan requires cooperation from all parties involved, including Israel and international mediators.
He reiterated Greece's commitment to supporting diplomatic efforts and humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of civilians affected by the conflict.
This statement aligns with broader international reactions welcoming Hamas's response to the peace proposal, which aims to end hostilities and foster a sustainable resolution to the Gaza conflict.
