Jerusalem Post: Israel Allies Foundation launches parliamentary caucuses in Greece, Cyprus


The Israel Allies Foundation (IAF) launched two new parliamentary caucuses in Greece and Cyprus this week, seeking to strengthen ties with Israel and expand cooperation on regional security, energy, and technology.

The Greek Parliamentary Israel Allies Caucus was inaugurated at the Hellenic Parliament in Athens on Tuesday, followed by the launch of the Cyprus Israel Allies Caucus at the House of Representatives in Nicosia on Wednesday.

The new caucuses aim to build on the existing trilateral partnership between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus, with a particular focus on security challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean, including tensions with Turkey.


“The new Israel Allies Caucuses in Greece and Cyprus will help translate these commitments into parliamentary action,” said Leo van Doesburg, executive director of IAF Europe.

“Turkish threats must be met with solidarity, not silence. Ankara has no veto over our partnerships or our security,” he added.
