Stavros Ioannides/PIO/ReutersWhat has Cyprus’ role been in the Gaza war?
Cyprus has been keen to dispel any suggestions that it is implicated in the Gaza war, noting its humanitarian efforts that helped bring some aid into Gaza.

“The US also does not want to find itself in another Middle East quagmire, especially with presidential elections looming.”
