Informed sources affirmed to Al Mayadeen that Cyprus's government does not want any escalations with Lebanon, even through statements. 

Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, upon his arrival to Brussels, only said that Cyprus was "maintaining excellent relations with all neighboring countries, and will fulfill its role, which always takes a positive front."

Sources of the Cypriot delegation that participated in the European Union summit in Brussels revealed that Cyprus, which is concerned and occupied with its economy, sent clear messages to all those involved in Lebanon and abroad, referring to "Israel", saying that it will not take any step that could be an indication of support to "Israel", in the event of any confrontation against Lebanon regardless of its magnitude, and that its territories will not be used in any way against Lebanon. 

European sources in Brussels also confirmed that Cyprus asked the EU not to use a firm tone in the final statement regarding the warnings that Hezbollah’s Secretary-General had addressed to the country a few days ago.

The statement reflected this position, as the Europeans expressed, vaguely and without naming the parties [Cyprus or Hezbollah], “their solidarity with a member of the European Union against any external threat.”

Cyprus, after Nasrallah's threat: We will not participate in any war

Last week, Cypriot government spokesperson Konstantinos Lympiotis confirmed that his country "is not involved" and "will not participate" in any wars, emphasizing that the Republic of Cyprus has excellent relations with Lebanon.

The government spokesperson shared a statement on social media from Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, emphasizing that “no country will be granted permission to conduct military operations through Cyprus.” He indicated that all negotiations with Lebanon will occur at a diplomatic level.

Η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία δεν εμπλέκεται με κανένα τρόπο στις πολεμικές συρράξεις και δεν είναι μέρος του προβλήματος. Αντίθετα, μέσα από συγκεκριμένες ενέργειες αποδεικνύουμε στην πράξη ότι είμαστε μέρος της λύσης.

Και ο ρόλος μας αυτός, όπως εκδηλώνεται, για παράδειγμα, μέσα από…

— President of the Republic of Cyprus (@PresidentCYP) June 20, 2024

It is worth noting that the Cypriot President confirmed, following Sayyed Nasrallah’s speech, that Cyprus "does not participate in conflicts, and is part of the solution, not part of the problem."

This announcement comes after Sayyed Nasrallah warned the Cypriot government about allowing its airports and bases to be used by the Israeli occupation. "The Cypriot government should be warned that opening its airports and bases to the enemy to target Lebanon means it has become part of the war."
