Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet in Jerusalem on Sunday, two Greek sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

The agenda of the talks was expected to be extensive, one of the sources said.

The two leaders last met in Israel in 2023.

Greece condemned the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas but has called for an end to the war in Gaza, and respect for ceasefire agreements.

It says the unhindered and continuous flow of humanitarian aid to all parts of Gaza remains a priority while the displacement of Palestinians could lead to regional instability.

Hospitals in Greece have also received children from Gaza in need of medical care.

On Sunday the leaders were likely to discuss the war, foreign affairs and bilateral issues, including a project on a subsea power cable to link continental Europe to the East Mediterranean.

Greek power grid operator IPTO ADMr.AT is building the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) cable, which will link transmission networks of Europe to Cyprus. It will later stretch to Israel through the Mediterranean Sea.

Greece this month dismissed media reports that the project has stalled over financial and geopolitical concerns and reaffirmed its commitment to the planned link.
