SYRIZA expresses strong concern over unprecedented escalation in the Middle East

Main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance in a statement on Wednesday expressed its strong concern over the unprecedented escalation in the Middle East, following the actions in the Golan Heights, Beirut and Tehran, which threaten to spread turmoil in the wider region and calls on the international community to intervene in order to have immediate de-escalation.
"The UN, the EU and international actors should take immediately the necessary initiatives for the direct de-escalation and the demonstration of the required self-restraint by all parties involved," SYRIZA noted.
"In parallel, it is clear that the resolution of the Palestinian issue constitutes the cornerstone for the preservation of the fragile balances and peace in the Middle East. So, it is imperative that a ceasefire is achieved in the Gaza Strip, with the return of all the hostages and the restart of reliable negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians for a two-state solution based on the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as Palestine's capital. Otherwise, the ongoing regional rivalries will cause a generalised conflict in the Middle East, with incalculable consequences for peace and security in the wider region", concluded SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance's announcement.
