Israeli President Isaac Herzog is currently in a surprise visit to the Greek Cypriot administration to discuss various issues with Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Hristodulidis. The agenda includes bilateral relations, changing regional dynamics under the new Trump era in the U.S., and common concerns regarding the new period in Syria and Turkey's regional influence.

Among the topics to be discussed by the Israeli President and the Greek Cypriot leader is the potential agreement on maritime jurisdiction in the Eastern Mediterranean between Turkey and Syria. A recent statement by Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, suggesting a possible maritime jurisdiction agreement with Syria triggered concerns for the Greek Cypriot administration and Greece. Furthermore, Greece-Cyprus and Egypt held their 10th routine meeting in Cairo yesterday, where they discussed economic relations. Similar to Israel, Greece-Cyprus also has a maritime sharing agreement with Egypt, making the discussions in the meeting more relevant.
