Cyprus Stresses Neutrality Amid Tensions with Israel and Hezbollah

Lebanon's Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has issued a warning to Cyprus, stating that if the country aids Israel in attacks on Lebanon, it will become a target. This comes as Israel's army claims to have approved an offensive on Lebanon targeting Hezbollah, with Israel's foreign minister hinting at an imminent announcement on whether the country will go to war. Cyprus has responded to Nasrallah's warning by expressing disbelief and describing his remarks as "not pleasant". The European Union has also weighed in, stating that any threats against its member states are threats against the EU. A spokesperson for Cyprus has reiterated that the country is not involved and will not be involved in any war or conflicts.
