Athens' actions under Prime Minister Mitsotakis reportedly strained relations with Turkey, with Mitsotakis urging Turkey to remove the 'casus belli', a term referring to a provocation or direct act that could justify a declaration of war.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has made it clear that he will continue to block Türkiye's SAFE program related to European defense as long as the 'casus belli' remains on the table. This potential declaration of war, authorized by the Turkish Parliament in 1995 in response to a potential extension of Greece's territorial waters in the Aegean beyond six nautical miles, has disrupted three years of calm in relations with Türkiye.

Mitsotakis is expected to discuss the future of Greek-Turkish relations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The leaders are set to meet during the United Nations General Assembly in September. Mitsotakis called for the lifting of the 'casus belli' in this anticipated meeting.

In a separate context, Mitsotakis has expressed his support for a two-state solution in the conflict in Gaza. He made these comments as the situation escalated, with the Israeli assault on Gaza reaching its 700th day and resulting in over 64,000 Palestinian deaths, according to local authorities. Mitsotakis criticized Israel's conduct during its operation in Gaza and expressed sympathy for the plight of the displaced civilians, with famine declared in Gaza and hundreds of thousands seeking refuge in Gaza City.

Mitsotakis also stated that Greece will recognize the State of Palestine "at the right time". He spoke with complete sincerity in every meeting with Erdogan, as he did during their brief encounter at the NATO Summit in The Hague.

In terms of international court cases, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice, and the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Mitsotakis reiterated Greece's determination to defend its sovereign rights in the Aegean. He also clarified that Greece's planning does not depend on Türkiye's approval. The specific measures that sparked tension with Ankara were not mentioned in the article.
