A pro-Israel lobby group from the United States has established parliamentary groups in Greece and Cyprus, emphasizing the significance of Cyprus in Israeli interests. The group, Aipac, led by outgoing president Bernard Kaminetsky and president-elect Yehuda Neuberger, met with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides on Wednesday.

This move follows the launch of similar parliamentary caucuses by another pro-Israel lobby group, the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF), which has far-right links. Aipac has faced significant criticism in the US for its influence over Congress members and presidents, as well as for its pro-Israel agenda, including support for the war on Iran, which has resulted in global economic consequences.
