Protest planned in Nicosia against Israeli President Herzog's visit over ongoing Middle East conflicts
The Cyprus Peace Council, along with other anti-war activist groups, is organizing a protest outside the Presidential Palace in Nicosia on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 18:30, opposing Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit. Herzog is visiting Cyprus at the invitation of President Nikos Christodoulides. The protest organizers label the visit a "huge provocation," citing Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, the West Bank, and expanding campaigns in Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, which they describe as acts of genocide.
This is not the first time the Cyprus Peace Council has protested against Herzog’s visits. In January 2025, around 400 demonstrators gathered outside the Presidential Palace, chanting slogans against the Israeli president. The organizers argue that Cyprus’ alignment with Israel risks undermining efforts to resume meaningful talks on the Cyprus problem and threatens the security and wellbeing of Cypriots.
The Cyprus Peace Council has called on citizens to join the protest to send a clear message that Herzog’s visit is unwelcome in Cyprus amid ongoing Middle East conflicts.
