Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter held a joint dinner Wednesday morning Jerusalem time with the Greek ambassador, the Cypriot chargé d'affaires, military attachés, and Jewish and Christian leaders, describing it as a 'significant demonstration of ongoing trilateral cooperation' amid rising tensions between Jerusalem and Ankara, according to Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom).
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter hosted a trilateral dinner in Washington on Tuesday evening Jerusalem time with the Greek ambassador, the Cypriot chargé d'affaires, military attachés from all three countries, and Jewish and Christian community leaders, as reported by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom).
The meeting was framed as a 'small wink to Turkey' against the backdrop of rising tensions between Jerusalem and Ankara. Leiter said the dinner was 'a significant demonstration of ongoing trilateral cooperation, to discuss the evolving security landscape and strengthen regional stability in the Eastern Mediterranean.'
The trilateral Israel-Greece-Cyprus axis has been strengthening for nearly a decade and a half, as The Zioneer has previously reported in the context of broader regional realignments. Leiter's outreach to Jewish and Christian leaders underscores the diplomatic dimension of the alliance-building effort.
No official statements from the State Department or the Greek or Cypriot embassies have been released at this time.
