The next move on Israel's agenda, involving the Republic of Cyprus, is perceived as the ultimate phase of this oppressive takeover - one that has already resulted in devastation and terror by forcibly removing or exterminating Gaza's inhabitants.
The
blood-thirsty Israeli government is continuously carrying out its occupation
agenda for Gaza, which includes attempting to annex the territory and
eradicate its population. As part of this plan, they have recently embarked on
the Cyprus initiative, which marks the final phase of their efforts to
occupy Gaza.
It has long been discussed that Israel has been gradually taking over Cyprus based
on its claim of "Promised Lands." Israelis, particularly on the Greek
Cypriot side, had been accumulating land and property from the island. The
Israeli government, which received support from the Greek Cypriot side to
attack Gaza and made efforts to establish military bases in the region, has now
taken action under the pretext of "aid."
After a critical visit that took place yesterday, attention turned to Israel's
sinister plans. Israel, expanding its land occupation and worsening the
humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza due to housing, food, and clean
water shortages, discussed sending aid to Gaza by sea with the Republic of
Southern Greek Cyprus.
As reported by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Eli
Cohen held talks with Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombus regarding
the establishment of a "maritime corridor" to Gaza. During their
visit to Larnaca Port together, Cohen received updates on the ongoing
preparations.
According to the announcement, a planned "maritime corridor" would
include a versatile facility at Larnaca Port, under Israeli supervision,
for the inspection and direct transport of humanitarian aid to Gaza
without going through Israeli territory.
Cohen also noted that this passage, launched from Greek Cypriots, would
assist in Israel's economic separation from the Gaza Strip.
The realities behind Israel's Cyprus process, launched under the pretext
of so-called "humanitarian aid," which openly applies genocide to the
Palestinian people, have come to light. Israel, which is expected to
blockade Gaza from every angle with the 'Greek plan', will completely
close the region to land crossings with this strategy, according to strategic
experts.
According to the plan, allegedly made to stop humanitarian aid coming from
the Rafah Border Crossing in Egypt to Gaza, Israel will complete the
occupation of the region under the pretext of "humanitarian aid."
On the other hand, making statements on the issue, the President of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus, Ersin Tatar, stated that the US and the UK,
using the territories controlled by the Greek Cypriot administration,
provide military support to Tel Aviv. Tatar argued that the "humanitarian
aid corridor by sea to Gaza" proposed by Greek Cypriots, which
controls the territories, was intended to "veil" military support
to Israel from the territories controlled by the Greeks.
Tatar drew attention to the increasing military presence of the US and France
in the territories controlled by RoC to support Israel, and he claimed
that Greek Cypriots' efforts to establish a "humanitarian aid
corridor by sea to Gaza" were intended to "veil" military
support to Israel from Greek territories.
Tatar emphasized that Greek Cypriots carried out all these actions by
ignoring the fact that Türkiye and Turkish Cypriots were the
guarantors of Cyprus and partners on the island.
Pointing a finger at that the Greek side is not sincere about aid to
Gaza, Tatar said: "Greek Cypriots, which cooperates with Israel, is not
sincere about aid to Gaza. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen was
here.
They come,
and they go. Collaborations continue. On the one hand, the military activities
of some countries, and on the other hand, the relations of Greek
Cypriots with Israel, considering all these, I think the issue of the
humanitarian aid corridor is considered as a 'veil' for other issues.
If the Greeks were sincere about
the humanitarian aid corridor, they wouldn't be this close to Israel.
Therefore, there is insincerity here”, concludes the article.
