Angelos Syrigos on war in Israel: “We are on a razor’s edge right now – The whole West is a target”

THE Angel SyrigosMember of Parliament of the New Democracy and Professor of International Law at the Panteion University, spoke about the crisis in the Middle East and the new facts arising after the declaration of war between Israel and Palestine. He also referred to the dangers of a more general conflagration in the Middle East region.

Invited to First Program 91.6 and 105.8 and in the show “The GPS of Current Affairs” with Thanos Siafakas. He said that from the first moment the war broke out, “America mobilized to a supreme degree. Blinken himself, the Secretary of State went to Israel, then he did a diplomatic marathon in all the states of the region, except Turkey, he returned to Israel, right after that Biden went and at the same time they sent an aircraft carrier with a very large force and then a second aircraft carrier.

All this shows that the Americans are incredibly afraid that because of the symbolism that the Palestinian has in the conflict between Islam and the Westthat if something extreme were to happen there would be some extreme attack or some extreme response by the Israelis, there would be a strong reaction and a possible conflagration throughout the region.”

Mr. Syrigos continued by saying that “we’re on a razor’s edge right now and we’re walking, will it cut us, won’t it cut us, will it cut us the next second or maybe we’ll get away with it for a little while longer. It is clear that the pressures being exerted are terrifying” Mr. Syrigos argued, characteristically saying that “the unbelievable was also heard as an excuse, that the weather conditions are not good for the Israeli army to operate in Gaza”.

Regarding Greece’s role in this war, Mr. Syrigos replied that “the most basic issue is the Terrorism. We are adjacent to the region, it takes very close cooperation of our secret services with foreign secret services so that there is a constant flow of information and there are no surprises. I remember earlier incidents, the City of Poros”, while he argued that “the entire West is a target».

“Palestinian, from a national liberation issue that was until the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, turns into a message of absolute symbolism for the conflict that exists between the fanatics of Islam and the West. And I also remember that Osama Bin Laden from the mountains of Afghanistan, when he was sending his messages, he was talking about Jerusalem. That is, Jerusalem has ceased to have the dimension of finding a just solution to the Palestinian issue with the creation of two states, what we say based on UN resolutions. It has taken on a different dimension, here the evil West, which has been oppressing us all these years, collides with the area of ​​Islam.

This is what Erdogan expresses to a great extent when he talks about these things. And here is the problem, that international terrorism, not domestic terrorism, international terrorism, is overwhelmingly based on this conflict of the West with Islam“, concluded the professor of International Law.
