Israel backs Cyprus on Turkish invasion anniversary
The Foreign Ministry condemned the Turkish presence in the island's north as unacceptable and called for renewed U.N.-backed negotiations toward a lasting solution.
Israel's Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its support for Cyprus's sovereignty and territorial integrity on Monday, the 52nd anniversary of Turkey's 1974 invasion. Jerusalem condemned Turkey's continued military presence in northern Cyprus and its unilateral efforts to alter the status quo as "unacceptable." As a strategic partner, Israel called for renewed U.N.-backed negotiations toward "a just, viable and lasting solution to the conflict." This statement aligns with ongoing United Nations efforts to revive stalled peace talks between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
