Stating that Europe supports Israel's right to self-defense as long as it remains within the framework of international law and human rights, Mitsotakis said, "The reference to a humanitarian pause in the fighting is a message that Israel must take the situation currently prevailing in Gaza seriously and allow the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza." he stated.

Mitsotakis said, "The solution to the Palestinian issue must be based on a two-state philosophy."
When asked how President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's refusal to define Hamas as a "terrorist organization" would affect Turkish-Greek relations, Mitsotakis replied, "I do not think that having different views on this matter should affect the Turkish-Greek dialogue and the significant steps taken in recent months."
