Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority is protesting Greece’s warm welcome to Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein and an invitation for him to address the Greek parliament, Walla News reports.
Ramallah’s ambassador to Greece has filed an official complaint with Athens over the visit, which is began Wednesday and ends Friday.
