Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has accused Cyprus of allowing Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises. Cyprus' president has denied any suggestion his country is taking sides in the conflict.
The head of Lebanon's Hezbollah said on Wednesday that nowhere in Israel would be safe if a full-fledged war breaks out between the two foes, and also threatened EU member Cyprus for the first time and other parts of the Mediterranean. Hezbollah has been trading fire with Israel for more than eight months in parallel with the Gaza war. On Tuesday, the Iran-backed group published what it said was drone footage of sensitive military sites deep in Israeli territory.
Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides denied any suggestion Cyprus was taking sides in any conflict. "It is not part of the problem, it is part of the solution. That role is evident, for example, through the humanitarian corridor which has been acknowledged not only by the Arab world, but from the international community," he said, referring to shipments of aid from Cyprus to Gaza.
