Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in his Sunday social media post, referred to the Israel-Hamas agreement on the first phase of the Middle East peace plan.
He underlined that he would be in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday for the signing of the agreement. “ The agreement represents a historic moment, as, for the first time, a realistic prospect of peace in the region is being created. This diplomatic success is credited as an initiative of President Trump, who has brought all actors in the region to a common framework of agreement,” he said.

The Greek premier also spoke about the draft State Budget for 2026, which was tabled last Monday in the relevant committee of the Hellenic Parliament. He said the realistic projections in the draft reflect a country that is finally leaving crises behind, investing in its inexhaustible potential, and moving forward with a plan, fiscal stability, and social sensitivity. Growth is projected to strengthen from 2.2% in 2025 to 2.4% in 2026, while unemployment and inflation continue their downward path. Public debt is expected to fall to 137.6% of GDP – the lowest level since 2010 – and Greece will cease to be the most indebted country in the EU.

“ With investments increasing by 10.2% – the highest rate in Europe – and a Public Investment Programme of 16.7 billion euros, we are boosting productivity, the creation of quality jobs, and regional development,” Mitsotakis said and added that, “ despite the prolonged unstable international environment, the Greek economy continues to grow at rates significantly higher than the Eurozone average, and our country is now a benchmark for the stability and consistency of its economic policy. The words of the President of the German Federal Bank, here in Athens this week, that Greece is now an example for Germany, fill us with pride and responsibility.”
