Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Prime Minister of Greece, will meet today at 12:30 PM with Dimitris Natsiou, the president of the 'Victory' party, to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East. This meeting is part of a series of one-on-one consultations that Mitsotakis has been holding with various political leaders to keep them informed about the rapidly evolving situation in this region. He had previously met with Nikos Androulakis, the president of the PASOK party, where both leaders acknowledged the positive atmosphere between them regarding their discussions on foreign policy issues.

Currently, there are no new requests for meetings from other party leaders, but there is ongoing pressure for convening the Council of Political Leaders to discuss the developments more comprehensively. Many leaders have voiced the need for a collective briefing in Parliament, especially given the complex nature of geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East and Greece's interests in the region. The call for a unified discussion reflects the collective concern among politicians regarding Greece's foreign policy direction amidst global uncertainties.

In a recent press briefing, Pavlos Marinakis responded to inquiries about why the Prime Minister is not acceding to requests for this council meeting. He suggested that since the purpose of political leaders is to be informed, they should receive one-on-one briefings from the Prime Minister instead of pursuing a collective council meeting, which the government does not believe meets necessary conditions for effective dialogue. This stance underscores the government's current approach to handling foreign policy discussions in the context of an evolving international landscape, particularly concerning the Middle Eastern crises.
