None
President Shimon Peres greeted his Greek counterpart Karolos Papoulias, who is on an official visit to Israel, and thanked him for helping prevent the flotilla to Israel.
I thank Greece from the bottom of my heart for complying with the UN general-secretary's instructions and preventing people who seek to disturb the order from arriving in Israel without supervision, Peres said during a ceremony at the President's Residence. (Ronen Medzini)
