Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar concluded a short while ago “a lengthy one-on-one meeting” in Athens with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Sa’ar’s office says in a statement.
Sa’ar arrived in Greece earlier today for trilateral meetings with his Greek and Cypriot counterparts in an effort to bolster the “Hellenic Alliance” between the three Mediterranean countries.
The prime ministers of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus are set to hold a tripartite summit later this month, according to the Foreign Ministry.
Following the meeting with the prime minister, Sa’ar participated in a ritual reading of the Scroll of Esther on the Jewish holiday of Purim, alongside the leaders of the Jewish community in Athens, says the Foreign Ministry.
