Nicosia Concerned About Israel's Gaza Military Operation Expansion

Nicosia has expressed deep concern regarding Israel's decision to expand military operations in Gaza. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that such a move would exacerbate the suffering of civilians and lead to further escalation.

In a post on the 'X' platform, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and unimpeded provision of humanitarian aid. It also noted that Hamas must be disarmed, as no terrorist organization can have a role in Gaza.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed the position of the Republic of Cyprus for a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue, as the only viable path to lasting peace and security.
