AKEL stated that it supports the protest organized by the Cyprus Peace Council and other anti-war organizations on the occasion of the visit of the President of Israel Herzog's to Cyprus, following the invitation of President Christodoulides.
AKEL supports protest against Herzog's visit
It called for mass participation on Thursday, 10 September 2026, at 18:30, outside the Presidential Palace in Nicosia.
The Party stated that while a number of countries internationally condemn Israel's criminal policy, President Christodoulides' stance provides political cover for the Israeli leadership. The policy of Israel's far-right leadership towards the Palestinian people demands condemnation, since the occupation, displacement and extermination of civilians cannot be tolerated.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog arrived in Cyprus on Thursday for the third time since taking office, in a diplomatic visit that carries particular geopolitical weight at a time when the tensions in the region are escalating.
