Palestine, Wednesday, June 24, 2020.( The inside Palestine)- The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, has visited ‘Israel’ two days ago in order to strengthen the bilateral relations between Israel and Cyprus.
With great pleasure and a full agenda to Israel tomorrow to meet my colleague @gabi_ashkenazi to pave the way and next steps of our multi-faceted cooperation, #Cyprus, #Israel https://t.co/3UBo1tg6vP

The strategic relations between the two countries and the prospect of further deepening them in various areas of common interest made Israel use the matter in its advantage, as it seeks Cyprus’ help in softening EU opposition to annexation.
It is known that Cyprus and Israel have extensive collaboration on military, cultural and political matters. But the question here.. Will Cyprus collude in covering up Israel’s crimes?
A group of Palestinian activists from ” Palestine Online” tried to express their discontent with the position of the Cypriot foreign minister, who supports Israel with closed eyes, hoping to awaken his sleeping conscience towards the oppressed Palestinians.
How can you openly empower relations and cooperation with apartheid Israel which as is now illegally planning to annex a large part of the West Bank? Israel, must immediately be sanctioned for illegally annexing Palestinian land. You have no respect for International Law.

Will you discuss the West Bank plans of annexation? Will you show your concerns? Any signs of condemning occupation?
