Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos met the ambassadors of Arab states in Nicosia on Thursday to discuss the situation in Israel and Gaza.

The minister expressed Cyprus’ support for de-escalation and the country’s readiness to provide humanitarian aid.

In a post on the X platform, the ministry said that Kombos met the Arab ambassadors to discuss the evolving regional developments.

During the meeting, the minister pointed out the importance of observing international humanitarian law and condemned attacks against civilians, it added.

The minister also expressed his support for “de-escalation and the provision of humanitarian aid” and conveyed Cyprus’ readiness “to help to this end in any way it can.”

Gaza faces a humanitarian catastrophe with about 2 million people, living in one of the most densely populated areas of the world, being left without water, electricity and fuel, following Israel’s total siege of the enclave.
