Cyprus Advises Citizens to Avoid Travel to Middle East

The Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs is advising citizens to avoid travel to Israel, Gaza, and Iran due to growing concerns about the situation in the Middle East. Specifically, it recommends avoiding all travel to Iran and Gaza, as well as non-essential travel to Israel and the West Bank. The Ministry reminds citizens of its current travel advisories and urges Cypriot nationals in these areas to register on the online platform connect2cy.gov.cy.
