Israel and Cyprus initiate ‘fast-track’ maritime aid corridor for Gaza
On December 20, Israel and Cyprus agreed to explore a maritime aid corridor for Gaza. Cyprus proposed this initiative in November, aiming to provide direct, sustained aid to Gaza. This move marks a significant step for Israel in economically disengaging from the enclave, initially entered to eliminate Hamas fighters.
The announcement follows a meeting between the Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen and his Cypriot counterpart Constantinos Kombos in Larnaca.
