Is Southern Cyprus’ Close Co-Operation With Israel Destabilising the Region?
Вставка

- Tensions between Israel and Lebanon are escalating. over fears that the conflict in Gaza could potentially engulf the eastern Mediterranean. Last week, the Lebanese political party Hezbollah gave the Greek Cypriot administration a stern warning. That if Israel uses southern Cypriot bases and airports to attack Lebanon, it would be considered 'part of the war'. In response, Greek Cypriot officials pledged not to provide any logistical support to Israel in a potential war against the Lebanese group.
Hezbollah’s threat has re-opened the long-running relationship between Greek Cypriots and Israel. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan recently cited intelligence reports saying southern Cyprus is being used by certain countries for operations against Gaza, under the guise of logistical support. Greek Cyprus, the EU's easternmost member, sits just 160 kilometers from the coast of Lebanon and is well within range of Hezbollah's rockets. In April, Israel conducted military exercises on the island, simulating scenarios against Iran and Lebanon.

Cuprus better stay out of it for its own safety
Excuse me but tell the Muslims in Lebanon to stop attacking Israel.
@@georgevavoulis4758 no, they should keep going until Palestine is free from Zionist occupation.
great coverage thank you very much
It's not very long running co-operation. This is a recent phenomenon of about 16 year's or so.
Before then Cyprus was a friend of Syria, Libya, the PLO, PFLP and so on.
Israel is the only friend of Cyprus Christians. Muslims took half of your island.
The real issue lies with Iran, with Qatar acting as an enabler. The world remains distracted by the symptoms instead of addressing the root cause.
Root cause is east European colonial project Israel
Silly fool. The root cause is western illegal invaders who disguise themselves as Jews when they are atheist and pagans. Holding g ay parades in the Holy land.
What does he mean Israel lost the war? Can I ask you why do you think That when millions of Palestinians and now Lebanese are dieing, than youre saying Israel is loosing the war?
Peace ☮️
no justice no peace
Akrotiri and Dhekelia (/ˌækroʊˈtɪəri ənd diˈkeɪliə/), officially the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia[2] (SBA),[a] is a British Overseas Territory on the island of Cyprus. The areas, which include British military bases and installations that were formerly part of the Crown colony of Cyprus, were retained by the British under the 1960 treaty of independence signed by the United Kingdom, Greece, Turkey and representatives from the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities.
If Hizbollah attacks these bases they will be attacking British sovereign enclaves and Britain is not a part of EU. Why EU is barking?
Cyprus playing with fire
Neighboring countries should not get involved in war between Israel and Lebanon. This will avoid bigger regional war and won't encourage wars....
If the US would stop arming and helping Israel everything would come to an end sooner than later and we could avoid WW3
Cyprus very good
cyprus belongs to Turkey
Cyprus belongs to the Cypriot people
@@TerryLefterithere is no such thing called Cypriot nation there are Greeks and Turks living side by side on the island of Cyprus
@@msbayramoglu1 The native Greek and Turkish Cypriots shared the same DNA 🧬 Cypriots are a people.
Cyprus has ten thousand years of history. It's the land of the copper. Whoever dared to invade Cyprus over the centuries has failed. Turkey is Turkey, and it invaded Cyprus illegally. The British have to leave. Get out of Cyprus or become a Cypriot citizen. This is the land of Aphrodite. Get your filthy feet off the dress of the goddess of love.
@@mariokery7155 The Ottoman Empire conquered Cyprus from the Venetians in 1571 an ruled it for 300 years, but they didn't touch or remove the Greek settlers who themselves colonized Cyprus, Various Greek city-states, including Athens, Arcadia, and others, sent colonists to Cyprus. Learn some history.

Why Turkish president can't ask Lebanon to expel Hesbollah from their country?
With a handle name like that… you are too stupid for ANYONE to explain to you why that would be impossible.
Why should he? They are fighting a similar war with Zionist Israil like the Palestinians. Zionist Israil is also occupying Lebanese land also.
Phele5tinian is our brothers.
Thieves and criminals won't understand brotherhood of Islam.
Whole Muslims praying for liberation of Phele5tin.
Lebanon is Hizbullah’s country. As for the so-called Israelis, their actual country is Poland and they should return back there
😂😂😂
My ears are sick in hearing repeatedly abot the Hezbollah endless threats and warning 😭😭😭
all they do is just barking everyday but in fActs they are toothless.
The fact that the Republic of Cyprus few days ago has signed a strategic agreement with the US has driven Turkey nuts.
Hence the reaction of Nasrallah and we know who is behind.
It is alright Turkey sedative pills can help.
why hit Cyprus but US clearly send all weapon to Israel? Show your gut please
there’s a difference between giving arms and having your ports and airports used by israel to attack lebanon is another thing
they have to stop the israeli source of attacks on them
You people thing you can beat Israel?
Muslim Brotherhood in action!!!!
We love turkey, we hate Erdogan politics and policies.
Turkish nation and people are good humans.
Sell out
So Iran can interfere in Lebanon, but Cypres can not interfere in Israel! Who does he think he is!?
it's spelled "Cyprus", and if Cyprus wants to interfere they will become part of the war.
if Cyprus wants to become a target, they can interfere
U forgot the USA interface in Israel against Palestine's?
He thinks he's the boss. And he is the boss. So bow down to your boss cz hes you're daddy too. You Winger.
Israel belongs in Poland and not in the Middle East
Eastern Turkey is Kurdistan ❤
God bless Israel and America
war criminals.
God doesn't bless killers.
It's clearly a troll. He doesn't believe that no one would.
God can’t save them from the wrath they’re about to face
Never heard of God blessing evil. What an idiotic statement, that is.
You couldn't find some more nutral "experts"!?
Turkiye and Edorgan house Hamas, but Cyprus can't support Israel, 🙄...
Occupiers, thieves from Poland, the Gentiles, enemies of Almighty
You support liars, thieves, occupiers and murders. Shame on you.
no 'equivalence', other than by mainstream media buzz..
Cyprus can do whatever it wants but should not cry when it faces consequences
Propaganda
