Greece strongly condemns the attack on an Israeli visiting the country last week, which left recently discharged IDF soldier Fahad Qubati, 24, with head and facial injuries.
“Competent authorities are conducting a thorough investigation,” says the Greek embassy in Israel. “Acts of violence are unacceptable. All Israelis are welcome in Greece, which is a totally safe tourist destination.”
The attackers reportedly stopped beating Qubati only after they were convinced he was an Arab Christian, and not Jewish.
