At a critical geopolitical juncture, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to visit Israel, most likely next Monday, something that is not so common lately for Western leaders. He will meet with Netanyahu in Jerusalem, with the visit reportedly “locked in” to the Israeli foreign minister’s recent visit to Athens.

The Crete-Cyprus electricity interconnection project is a project of major economic, political and strategic importance.

The Israel-Cyprus-Greece electricity interconnection consolidates Greece's strategic cooperation with the two countries and is an important step in enhancing security and prosperity in the wider region, Environment and Energy Minister Kostas Skrekas said on Friday, after the European Commission approved the funding of the EuroAsia Interconnector project. According to the decision, the EU will allocate 657 million euros to support the interconnection between Cyprus and the European network, while another 100 million euros will be given under the recovery and resilience mechanism.
