TIRANA, November 21 – Prime Minister Edi Rama held separate meetings on Tuesday with the ambassadors of the Arab League and Israel in Albania, with whom he shared his opinions and concerns regarding the conflict situation in the Gaza Strip.
During these meetings, which Rama described as friendly and sincere, he expressed concern about the prolonged conflict in Gaza.
“On October 7, Albania stood firm with Israel against Hamas. And we continue to do so. Israel has the indisputable right to defend itself and the terrible crimes of Hamas cannot be forgotten or relativized and must not go unpunished,” said Rama.
“However, as a peace-loving country with many religious beliefs, Albania is very concerned about the protracted conflict in Gaza. We are concerned by the destruction, civilian casualties and suffering,” stressed Rama.
According to him, the current narrative in which Palestinians in Gaza have only two choices should not be allowed to continue: Hamas or Israel.
“The international community must intervene and create a third choice: a future for Gaza without Hamas and Israeli troops,” said Rama. /argumentum.al
