"There is no data that the Bulgarian citizen in Gaza died in a deliberate attack. At the moment, it is not known exactly what happened, Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev said in an interview with BNT. "We have no information, we have no unequivocal data, we have no official results of an investigation to say what happened'', said Georg Georgiev. According to him, Bulgaria has an interest in ensuring that the truth is clear. ''We would not allow ourselves, at this early stage, to engage in speculation or base ourselves on assumptions, thus jeopardizing Bulgaria's foreign policy reputation'', commented Bulgaria's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
