Israel is negotiating to buy a port in Cyprus.. What are the goals of the step and its relationship to the Biden initiative?.
The Israeli move raises many questions, especially as it comes at a time when Tel Aviv is tightening its siege on Gaza and refuses to allow humanitarian aid to enter it through land crossings. It is not surprising that Israel is seeking alternatives to ensure the flow of goods to it in light of the ongoing Houthi attacks on ships heading to Israeli ports. The step is part of Tel Aviv’s efforts to find sea routes to transport goods to Israel.
