Protests held in Cyprus against Israeli President's visit

On September 10, 2026, dozens of citizens gathered outside the Presidential Palace in Nicosia to protest against the official visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Cyprus. The demonstration, which began at 18:30, was organized by the Pancyprian Peace Council in collaboration with various anti-war and activist organizations.

Participants carried Palestinian flags, banners, and placards displaying slogans such as "Freedom for Palestine" and "Palestine: 75 years of captivity." The protesters aimed to express their opposition to the state visit, highlighting their stance on the ongoing regional conflict. The event proceeded in the capital as part of broader anti-war activist efforts.

While the sources provided details on the slogans used and the identity of the organizers, they did not report any confrontations or incidents between the protesters and law enforcement. The demonstration appears to be a peaceful expression of political dissent regarding the diplomatic visit of the Israeli head of state to the island.
