AKEL: Government Should Consider Risks of Cooperation with Israel

AKEL has expressed concern over the deepening military-political cooperation between Cyprus and Israel, calling on the government to inform political forces and the public about the content of recent meetings and agreements. The party argues that the expectation that Israel will protect Cyprus from Turkish aggression is a dangerous illusion, as experience has shown that Israel does not have such intentions. Furthermore, AKEL accuses the government of turning a blind eye to Israel's violations of international law, such as occupation and settlement, which undermines Cyprus's credibility in the struggle to end the Turkish occupation.
