Palestinian rocket fire has dramatically quietened during Israel’s ten-month offensive in Gaza, which was launched in response to Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel. The last rocket attack on Tel Aviv was on M...

Speaking at an event in the north to mark the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion that split the island along ethnic lines, Erdoğan ruled out resuming talks based on the Annan Plan which proposed the establishment of a United Republic of Cyprus, a federation of two states. That plan was put to a referendum in 2004 and was approved by 65% of Turkish Cypriots in the north. But more than 75%...

Many in Cyprus fear that the arrival of mostly Muslim migrants poses not only socio-economic and security issues, but also an identity, demographic and even an existential threat to the country, whose North has been occupied by the Turkish army since 1974. "Cyprus population is about 800,000 people. If we have 250,000 foreign people here, it means that 25% or 30% are foreigners. If we cannot tell them to go away because of the European Union policies, it means that in a year period of time, as they will bring their wives and kids, they are going to be more than a million.
