Israel’s Energy Minister Eli Cohen says he has spoken with his Cypriot counterpart George Papanastasiou and underlined the importance Israel has attached to the Great Sea Interconnector project.

In a post on X, Cohen says, “I spoke with the Minister of Energy, Trade, and Industry of Cyprus, Mr. George Papanastasiou. We underscored the strong relationship and ongoing cooperation between Israel and Cyprus, and I emphasized the great importance of the "Great Sea Interconnector" project to Israel. The project will connect Israel's electricity grid to the European one through Cyprus and Greece, and strengthen energy security in the region. This groundbreaking project is a top priority for Israel as it enhances regional energy security, provides access to diverse energy markets, and strengthens Israel's integration into the European energy network.”
