Reporters United commented on the minister's responses, arguing that his refusal to name the MPs who participated in a private meeting of the Israel Allies Foundation confirmed their report of a secret meeting and contradicted a previous statement by the minister. The outlet stated that the minister, by saying that a group of Greek MPs from the Israel Allies Foundation had not been formed, denied Kostas Tsiaras, who on October 15, 2026, announced the establishment of the Israel Allies parliamentary group in Greece. According to Reporters United, this position was also contradicted by Deputy Foreign Minister Haris Theoharis, who appeared alongside Tsiaras as co-chair of the group, and the organization itself, which had posted on its website that the group had been created. Reporters United described the minister's stance that the wiretapping case and Predator were not serious as dangerous for democracy and national security. They argued that Predator had even targeted the Chief of the Hellenic National Defense General Staff and the Ministers of National Defense and Foreign Affairs, and accused the minister of showing indifference to the monitoring of the Armed Forces. Regarding the contract concerning newborn DNA, the outlet reported that the minister canceled it only after their report, when the contract was still secret, and following a public letter from hundreds of scientists that followed their revelations. It added that the minister announced the cancellation to the journalists of Reporters United during a live broadcast by George Avgeropoulos on Athens 984 on May 30, 2025. #Δημοκρατία #ΕθνικήΑσφάλεια #Πολιτική (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that five ministers and deputy ministers of the government, along with members of New Democracy, participated in a meeting with representatives of an Israeli lobbying organization, in the presence of the Israeli ambassador. According to Reporters United, the aim was to establish a group in Parliament called "Allies of Israel," led by Kostas Tsiaras. Avramidis mentioned that they asked the government spokesman who participated, what obligations they undertook, and whether there was any agreement or institutional involvement of the government or Parliament. As he wrote, he referred them to contact the ministers and MPs, stating that it was not his job to respond regarding the participation of each MP. According to Avramidis, they did not receive an answer to the question of whether ministers could participate in a permanent parliamentary group connected to a lobbying organization supporting a foreign state. The journalist further noted that, according to Reporters United, the organization had been linked to missions of MPs to the West Bank alongside settlement leaders, while its founder had supported the annexation of occupied Palestinian territories and the so-called "voluntary transfer" of Palestinians. He wrote that the government stated it disagreed with these positions but did not answer whether it condemned them or if the members of the group would support them. He mentioned that the government spokesman responded that meeting with someone did not mean adopting their views and questioned the adoption of publications. Avramidis argued that the participants themselves had announced the establishment of the group. #Παλαιστίνη #Ισραήλ #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)

Reporters United raised questions to Minister Adonis Georgiadis about the Israel Allies Foundation and the meeting at the Athens Club, which he reportedly described as non-secret. They asked which MPs, ministers, and businesspeople attended, who was part of the Greek group of MPs from the organization and under what terms, and whether the presidency of the Parliament was aware of its creation. Reporters United stated that, according to a report on August 8, 2024, Georgiadis had received 11 messages infected with Predator in 2021—more than any other target in Greece—and that he had been officially informed by the Data Protection Authority. They asked him why he did not take legal action and whether being targeted by illegal surveillance software 11 times constituted a national security issue for a high-ranking minister. The outlet also claimed that filming and photographing the minister in public space while performing his duties was a right of journalists and did not violate his personal data. Finally, it reminded that, as reported, its investigations had led Georgiadis to withdraw on May 30, 2025, a secret contract bearing his signature for the transfer of DNA of hundreds of thousands of infants to private individuals. #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)
