The government’s silence on Israeli involvement in the country’s airports is, to say the least, suspicious.
The government’s silence regarding AKEL’s questions on Israeli involvement in the security of the country’s airports is suspicious and is increasingly creating concern among citizens. We once again call on the government to answer the following:
- Why did the Israelis ban flights from Paphos airport? What is going on at Larnaca airport that makes it different?
- Have the Israeli authorities requested any involvement in the security issues of one or the other of the country’s airports? If so, what was the government’s response?
- Are Israeli or other state armed forces present in any air traffic control tower in our country?
AKEL underlines that the security of the country, its citizens and its infrastructure is the absolute responsibility and jurisdiction of the Republic of Cyprus and not of any other foreign state.
