Greek PM to meet Israel's Netanyahu in Jerusalem on March 30, Greek sources say
The agenda of the talks was expected to be extensive, one of the sources said.
The two leaders last met in Israel in 2023.
Greece condemned the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas but has called for an end to the war in Gaza, and respect for ceasefire agreements.
It says the unhindered and continuous flow of humanitarian aid to all parts of Gaza remains a priority while the displacement of Palestinians could lead to regional instability.
Hospitals in Greece have also received children from Gaza in need of medical care.
On Sunday the leaders were likely to discuss the war, foreign affairs and bilateral issues, including a project on a subsea power cable to link continental Europe to the East Mediterranean.
Greek power grid operator IPTO is building the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) cable, which will link transmission networks of Europe to Cyprus. It will later stretch to Israel through the Mediterranean Sea.
Greece this month dismissed media reports that the project has stalled over financial and geopolitical concerns and reaffirmed its commitment to the planned link.

Israeli military to call up 50,000 reservists as it plans new phase of Gaza war
An Israeli military official said that the country's top generals had approved plans to begin a new phase of operations in some of Gaza's most densely populated areas. Speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly, the official said that the military will be operating in parts of Gaza City where the Israeli military has not yet operated and where Hamas is still active. The official said after receiving approval from military leaders, the plan would now progress toward the final approval stage. It remains unclear when the operation will begin. The official said 50,000 reservists will be called up in the coming month, nearly doubling the number of active reservists to 120,000.
