Greek PM tells Erdogan: ‘Let’s agree to disagree’ on whether Hamas is a terror group

Greece and Turkey cannot agree on all issues related to the ongoing war in Gaza, but they can agree that violence must end, and that a long-term ceasefire is needed, Greece’s prime minister says after meeting Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.

“Let’s agree to disagree,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis says, after Erdogan expressed sadness over the Greek view that deems Hamas a terrorist organization.

The Iran-backed group is designated as a terrorist organization by a host of countries including Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, along with the European Union.
