Cypriot diplomacy and the plan to ship humanitarian aid to Gaza

The Cypriot plan to supply Gaza with humanitarian aid, presented by President Nikos Christodoulides at the Paris Peace Forum this week, is gaining traction, particularly among EU member states. The planned sea corridor, in which Cyprus seeks a central role, was also the main issue discussed by Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos on his recent trip to Amman and Ramallah, while President Christodoulides also spoke about it with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Professor Gabriel Haritos joins Thanos Davelis to look into Cyprus’ diplomatic efforts to establish this humanitarian corridor to Gaza, look at the various political considerations, and break down the view from Israel.

Professor Gabriel Haritos teaches history of Greek-Israeli-Cypriot political relations as an adjunct lecturer at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and as a visiting professor at Panteion University. He is a research fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), and the author of the book Israel and the Cyprus Question.
