Greece’s Foreign Affairs Ministry expressed its deep concern over the rising violence in Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and called for “the immediate end.”
For more than a week, Palestinians have protested throughout Jerusalem over attempts to evict Palestinian families from their homes.
Violent clashes escalated dramatically on Monday with Gaza health officials saying at least 20 people, including nine children, were killed by Israeli air strikes launched after Palestinian militant groups fired rockets close to Jerusalem.
“At the same time, recognising Israel’s right to self-defence, we reiterate the need for all parties to take action that will lead to immediate de-escalation. Steps must also be taken to avoid further casualties among the civilian population,” said the ministry.
A new initiative supported by Greece’s Foreign Affairs Ministry aims to connect innovative Hellenes, helping them take their early-stage tech startups to the next level.
The online program Greek Startup Universe is about to be launched by the StartupGreece non-profit organisation and Founderhood, with registrations open until 1 March.
Run under the auspices of the Secretariat General for Public Diplomacy and Greeks Abroad of the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the program will be free for all Greeks and Cypriots from across the globe who have a tech startup or a promising tech idea.
The Greek Startup Universe brings together strategic partners like GreekTech in New York, CyprusInno in Cyprus, and the Office of Economic and Commercial Affairs of the Consulate General of Greece in San Francisco.
