PM to Greek president: Israel prevents mass passage of refugees to Europe
Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu hails the “common values” of the two countries, and announces an expansion of bilateral ties in “Energy, tourism, knowledge, innovation and others.”
He adds: “Israel contributes to stability in the Middle East. A strong Israel prevents the passage of masses of refugees to Europe.”
Pavlopoulos also refers to the importance of cooperation on the refugee crisis, saying, “Only together will everyone be able to resolve the refugee problem and not each country on its own.”
