Mitsotakis – Netanyahu meeting on Sunday in Jerusalem

‘Locked up’ his participation Kyriakou Mitsotakis At tomorrow’s conference of Macron In Paris for Ukraine, which I had informed you, but although this « milestone » was expected with great interest from Athens, there was an even more important one for the Prime Minister’s diplomatic plan, that of the next Sunday in Jerusalem, where Kyriakos Mitsotakis will have a meeting, crucial, with the Benjamin Netanyahu. The meeting, I am informed, is bilateral and has been disconnected from the trilateral peak between Greece – Cyprus -Israel to be held in a later time.

They also convey to me that for the meeting Mitsotakis – Netanyahu The desire for the Israeli side had been expressed in Athens, but Jerusalem was eventually chosen to avoid other side effects. First of all because the Greek authorities would be confronted with the international arrest warrant against Netanyahu pending, and then, the meeting of the two leaders could take a completely different turn from the pursuit. It is not excluded, however, that Athens will return to the debate as a headquarters of a trilateral planning.

The cable on the agenda

As to the agenda of the meeting Mitsotakis – NetanyahuIt is assumed that at least from the Greek side, a great emphasis will be placed on the Greece – Cyprus -Israel electric interconnection, with a look at the seabed investigations planned to restart, in international waters this time, always under the threat of a new Turkish harassment.

The phone call postponed

Almost simultaneously with the arrival of Hakan Fidan in Washington for last night’s first official meeting with Mark RubioIn Athens, information was released that before the Turks met with the Americans (as the Turkish Foreign Minister was accompanied by his diplomatic advisor Erdogan; Akif Chagati Kilits; For a scheduled meeting with US National Security Advisor, Mike Walts), will precede a phone call between Gerateritite and Walts To request the positions of Greece. Mostly, I guess, because the aim of the Turkish delegation was to reintegrate Turkey to the F-35 fighter program, from which I recall, the Trump during his first term. But in the end this phone call was postponed, with the communication of Walts With the Greek Foreign Minister shifted towards the end of the week. I bet some of the preceding Salos, with the leak of secret information about Yemen, which was actively involved by the National Security Advisor himself.

New shots from Samaras

As an opportunity for new shots against Maximus Grand and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Antonis Samaras His message for the national anniversary of March 25, moving steadily on the line that he remains « present and fighter ». The key phrases I recorded include in the position of former prime minister that the Greeks in the glorious past have succeeded, but « not through » calm waters « , not through pre-eminent half-half and half-days, but a unique love of freedom. »

Friction on the blue

Staying on foreign policy agenda and on the occasion of the « tricks » that continues to cause the « issue in the government building on the government building. Tsafou« , The mobilization observed in the background by ND members who are annoyed is currently consisting of a single -digit number of blue Members. Indicatively I mention them Thanos Plevris; Andrea Katsaniotis; Milto; Theodore Karaoglou; Stelios Peta etc. And I recall that on April 4, the blue parliamentary group is expected to meet for the first time in months.

Where, typically, the issue will be the election of Apostolou Vesiropoulos In place of the KO Secretary, but many are discounted by a stormy debate, such as that five -hour June meeting, in the wake of the low percentage of the European elections. Today, however, the prime minister, continuing his work visits to the ministries, will cross the threshold of the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum, with the aim of emerging as a new « government regularity ». Consequently, the afternoon’s launch of the cabinet was a necessity.
