In the wake of Iran’s direct attack on Israel, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called for an emergency National Security Council (KYSEA) meeting.
The meeting will take place at 6 PM on Sunday at the Maximos Mansion under PM Mitsotakis.
According to TO BHMA, the Council will assess the issue of navigation in the region, the possible increase in oil prices, the overall economic impact, as well as the possible reactions of other countries and the risk of further escalation of conflict.
According to reports by ERT, Greece’s Defense Minister Nikos Dendias will also participate in the meeting and is on route back from the US, where he was to attend the Greek Independence Day Parade in New York City.
Dendias announced his hasty return to Athens, stating that “there is an evolving situation between Iran and Israel in our region. I always say in my speeches that Greece is not blessed for its geographic location. We are in an area with crises that happen again and again.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the attack in a post on X early on Sunday morning.
