Rama denies: Albania cannot bear such a responsibility for Gaza!
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has strongly reacted to fake news suggesting Albania's involvement in any plan to take responsibility for the situation in Gaza. In a public statement, Rama stressed that Albania has not received any request and is not in a position to consider such a commitment.
Expressing full solidarity with the people of Gaza, Rama said:
"Full respect and solidarity for the people of Gaza, who have been dehumanized by the barbaric Hamas regime and have gone through a hellish war after the medieval horror of October 7. But let me be clear: Albania has not been asked by anyone, and we cannot even think of taking on such responsibility."
He also underlined Albania's strong relations with Israel, Arab countries and the Palestinian people. The Prime Minister stressed that Albania has recognized the Palestinian state for a long time and wants peace and stability for the entire region.
"We are proud of our strong friendships with Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and, of course, with the Palestinian people. But Albania is not located in the Middle East, and from the heart of Europe, we cannot do more than any other European country on this issue," Rama declared.
In conclusion, the Prime Minister appealed for a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and condemned any act that harms the civilian population, emphasizing the importance of creating a free and democratic state for the Palestinian people.
