In an interview with the Greek newspaper "Kathimerini", the Israeli ambassador to Greece, Pninat Yanay, was also asked about the influx of Israelis who have decided to live in Athens and other cities.
In his question, journalist Vassilis Nedos defined the immigration of Jews to Greece as a phenomenon, for which the ambassador has this explanation:
"First of all, I completely understand. It's very easy to fall in love with Greece, I experience this every day myself. Particularly interesting is the characteristic of the Israeli community that comes here.
Many are educated, entrepreneurs, families and investors. They bring experience, creativity and economic activity. They discover a culture that they feel very close to…
Israelis don't come to Greece just to buy property, but also to build friendships that contribute to local communities.
"From the many conversations I have with Israelis living here, Greece has become their second home, but they certainly continue to see Israel as their first home."
The stance in question, whether we like it or not, explains a positive side of a concern that has increasingly gained traction in Cyprus, Greece, Italy, and to our surprise, even in Albania.
