Israeli regime mulls setting up port in Cyprus
A delegation from the ministry was dispatched to Cyprus to study the establishment of the new porn in line with the regime’s security agendas and scenarios, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported.
Certain Israeli companies will be in charge of security checks of the port and it is estimated that the construction project will cost hundreds of millions of dollars for the regime.
According to Ynet, the move is part of Israel’s efforts to find maritime solutions for the supply of goods, particularly in response to security risks arising at the Haifa port, in case of a war in the north with Hezbollah.
Reports also pointed to the normalization of ties between Saudi Arabia and the Israeli regime, noting given the fact that the normalization has not come into effect so far, Israeli officials see the move as a positive sign for future developments to reach this goal.
