Cyprus Won’t Allow Israel to Use Its Soil to Attack Lebanon: Ambassador
News - Middle East: The Cypriot ambassador to Beirut says the Mediterranean island country will not allow its territory to be used as a launching pad for an Israeli military offensive against Lebanon.
“We affirm our country's position regarding not allowing the use of Cypriot lands as a launching platform for a military invasion against Lebanon,” Maria Hadjitheodosiou said during her Tuesday meeting with Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Committee in Lebanon’s parliament, Fadi Alameh.
The two officials discussed the security situation in southern Lebanon, the extent of damage resulting from clashes along the border between the Arab country and the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories, and Lebanon’s adherence to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 33-day 2006 Israeli onslaught.
The Cypriot ambassador said she hoped “a political settlement to end the current situation.”
On June 24, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan lashed out at Cyprus for becoming an “operation center” for Israel’s bloody onslaught on Gaza, warning the island country against involving itself with the regime’s regional adventures.
