The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece expresses its unwavering solidarity with the citizens of Israel, who once again find themselves under the relentless barrage of mass missile attacks launched by Iran.
The storm of missiles directed against innocent civilians in the heart of Israeli cities constitutes tangible proof of the existential threat posed by the theocratic regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Jewish state and to stability across the Middle East. No people and no nation can remain passive when its very existence is actively and explicitly threatened.
For years, the Iranian regime, through an extensive network of proxy organizations, has financed and supported terrorism throughout the region and beyond, indiscriminately targeting innocent civilians. The attacks of October 7, 2023, which resulted in the murder of 1,200 Israelis, the ballistic missile strikes against cities in Israel as well as in neighboring Arab states, and the regime’s persistent pursuit of nuclear weapons of mass destruction serve as the most tragic reminder that these were not mere rhetorical threats, but rather a calculated strategy to destabilize the broader Middle East, with the primary objective of annihilating the State of Israel. For this reason, we commend the decisive role of the United States of America in the definitive elimination of the Iranian threat.
We stand firmly beside the citizens of Israel in these critical hours and extend our heartfelt sympathy to the families who have lost their loved ones during the missile attacks launched by the regime in Tehran.
At the same time, we express our support for the Iranian people, who continue to struggle for their dignity and for the enjoyment of the fundamental blessings of freedom and democracy.
