Steps to upgrade Cyprus-Israel relations

With the aim of upgrading the cooperation between the two countries and having a strategic character, President Anastasiadis and Benjamin Netanyahu will discuss in detail - today in Jerusalem - the next steps. High on the agenda will be the issue of energy, which includes issues of security and co-operation.

According to updated sources, the two leaders will discuss strengthening and expanding partnerships. It is noted that the next tripartite meeting between Greece - Israel - Cyprus is already being prepared, which is scheduled for autumn. In view of the tripartite, bilateral contacts between Greece and Israel are expected at this stage.

At the same time, issues of economic cooperation are on the agenda of Anastasiadis and Netanyahu, as Israelis are interested in investing in Cyprus.
It is obvious that the Israeli side is investing in cooperation with the Republic of Cyprus, as it considers that it can be the link with countries in the region, with which Israel has no direct relationship. At the same time, Israel considers Cyprus as a gateway to Europe.

However, indicative of the cooperation that Cyprus seeks with countries in the wider region is the fact that tomorrow, Tuesday, immediately after his return from Israel, the President will receive the credentials of two new ambassadors, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Both countries are opening embassies in Nicosia, a sign of the development of relations.
