Turkish President Erdogan:

Greece needs to understand this once and for all: Türkiye has no designs on anyone else’s territory, but it will not allow anyone to trample on its rights.

Greece should turn back from the wrong path it has taken and stop militarizing the islands that have demilitarized status.

History is a very good guide for those who learn from it.

France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot:

We are extremely concerned, if not appalled and outraged, by the situation in the West Bank, where there has been a surge in violence by extremist settlers against Palestinians, alongside the expansion of illegal settlements.

All of this threatens the two-state solution, threatens Israel’s own security interests, and undermines a principle that we should all share: respect for human dignity.
