Cyprus warns for the devastating results and the broader catastrophic consequences if there is a wider escalation of the crisis in the region. Cyprus Foreign Ministry posted on X that Nicosia is following closely the worrying developments in neighbouring Lebanon and the region-at-large and is extremely concerned.
”We reiterate our call to all parties for showing utmost restraint. Civilians must always be protected, in line with IHL”, the MFA says.
Cyprus says that it fully supports the ongoing mediation efforts of its partners- both as regards the Blue Line by the US and France, as well as the efforts by the US, Egypt and Qatar aiming to reach an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, release all the hostages and surge humanitarian aid.
”We reiterate that a wider escalation in the region is in no one’s interests. It would have devastating results and broader catastrophic consequences”, the MFA says.
