The government must respond to the press reports of joint military exercises with Israel
Statement by AKEL C.C. member Vakis Charalambous
12 April 2024, AKEL C.C. Press Office, Nicosia
The government must respond to the press reports revealing that Cyprus has participated in joint military exercises with Israel to simulate an attack on Iran. Such a possibility makes Cyprus a target.
When almost the entire international community is warning of the dangers of a widespread military conflict breaking out, the government cannot ignore the situation and cede Cyprus’ territory and airspace to Israel in preparation for a war.
Indeed at a time when Israel’s actions are creating conditions for the generalisation of the war and conflicts and continuing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
The Christodoulides government is called upon to put the interests of Cyprus above all else.
It is called upon to protect our country and not to put it in danger.
