Occupied Territories: Claims of 'Scheme' for Israeli Leasing of Greek Islands
The occupied territories of Cyprus are claiming that Israel is considering leasing Greek islands in the Aegean Sea to settle Israeli citizens there, characterizing the plan as a 'repetition of the scheme to occupy Palestine'. The self-proclaimed 'foreign minister' of the pseudo-state, Kutret Ertugruloglu, stated that this plan aims to encircle Turkey and the occupied territories, characterizing it as a 'casus belli' (reason for war). Ertugruloglu claimed that Israel is seeking to take over Cyprus and the islands in the Aegean, repeating a 'sick mentality' from the 20th century. This statement represents an escalation of rhetoric from the side of the occupied territories. This accusation comes at a time of increased tensions in the region, with US-Israeli attacks on Iran and concerns about further escalation. The situation is being closely monitored as the region remains unstable.
