Political parties DISY, DIKO, and EDEM have formed a parliamentary group and a Cypriot branch of Transatlantic Friends of Israel (TFI), drawing criticism from AKEL. AKEL accuses these parties of turning the Cypriot House of Representatives into a lobby for Israel, promoting Israeli interests while Cyprus struggles against Turkish occupation. The new groups aim to strengthen ties with Israel, with some members visiting Israel and meeting with Israeli officials. The move has sparked a political firestorm, with AKEL questioning the compatibility of supporting Israel with Cyprus' own struggle for liberation and reunification.
