A sharp rise in Israeli settlers’ migration to Cyprus has sparked concerns, with many seeking to purchase properties, including home and land, as settlers are leaving the occupied territories en masse amid fallout of Israel’s wars on Gaza and Lebanon.

Dimitri Lascaris, an activist journalist, in his recent report revealed a considerable surge of Israelis traveling to Cyprus Island to “buy anything in sight” following the recent war in Gaza, and the escalating crisis in the region.

“What I found were secretive, luxurious resorts that cater to and pamper affluent Israelis” while Tel Aviv “inflicts a genocide on the Palestinian people,” said Lascaris in his report.
