Description
Providing a detailed account of Israel's foreign policy towards the Cyprus question between 1946 and the declaration of Cypriot independence in August 1960, Gabriel Haritos examines the international and regional factors which shaped Israel's approach to diplomatic relations with the independent Republic of Cyprus.
Based on newly available archival material from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, declassified at the author's request, and on archival material collected from both sides of the Cypriot divide, Haritos highlights previously unknown events, and the key personalities involved in Israel's political and diplomatic interactions over the Cyprus question. In doing so, he offers key insights into the Middle Eastern aspect of the unresolved Cyprus conflict.

Reviews / Votes
Gabriel Haritos exposes the Israeli narrative of the Cyprus problem, which differs entirely from both the Greek and the corresponding Turkish narrative. The Middle Eastern aspect of this perennial conflict emerges - an aspect that is proving particularly relevant today. The discovery of natural gas deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean, the development of the Greece-Cyprus-Israel axis, the troubled relations between Israel and Turkey, but also the intercommunal efforts to settle the conflict, are some of the many reasons to read this well-structured book. * Praise for the Greek edition, 'Foreign Affairs - The Hellenic Edition' *More details
