|{{Flag|Israel }}||17 August 1960
|See [[Cyprus–Israel relations]]

In the case of Israel, Cyprus has occasionally outwardly backed the [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]]s in the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]], to the annoyance of some in the Israeli government. Cyprus, like over 100 other countries, officially recognizes Palestine as a de facto state.

The island is also host to a number of Palestinian and Lebanese refugees.

Relations between the two countries continued to suffer when Cypriot first lady [[Antroulla Vasiliou]], the wife of the then President [[George Vasiliou]], was declared ''[[persona non grata]]'' in Israel when a delegation she was leading attempted to meet with [[Yasser Arafat]], who was under house arrest.

Controversy and public outcry arose in the early 2000s, when members of the Cypriot branch of the [[Greek Orthodox Church]] were accused of selling church-owned land in the [[West Bank]] to Israeli developers, putting Cypriot commitment to the Palestinian cause at question.

The expulsion of two alleged Israeli spies from the island in 1998 also caused tension between the two governments.

The two countries now appear to be on improving terms, there has been coopertation on numerous areas but mostly on agriculture, military and tourism. The Cypriot government has also been reported to be making deals with both Israel and Egypt in exploring for oil off the southern Cyprus coast.

Israeli foreign minister [[Avigdor Lieberman]] visited Cyprus at the invitation of his Cypriot counterpart when Netanyahu was in Washington for the direct talks with the Palestinian leader. Lieberman and Cypriot foreign minister Kyprianou have met several times this year in an effort to strengthen relations between their countries.

|{{Flag|Turkey }}||Suspended
|Turkey does not recognize the government of the Republic of Cyprus, stating that the Republic—as established by the Constitution of 1960—ceased to exist when the intercommunal violence that commenced in December 1963 ended Turkish Cypriot participation in the Cypriot government. The attempted coup in July 1974—engineered by Greek Military Junta—was responded to by Turkey by a full military invasion, which resulted in the northern third of the island being occupied by Turkish military forces. This portion of Cyprus unilaterally declared independence in November 1983 as the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]] (TRNC), which only Turkey recognizes. Turkey refers to the Republic of Cyprus government as the "Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus".<ref>{{cite web |title=Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus |url=https://www.ab.gov.tr/greek-administration-of-southern-cyprus_255_en.html |website=www.ab.gov.tr |publisher=[[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Turkey)|Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs]] - Directorate for EU Affairs |access-date=4 October 2024 |date=15 November 2022}}</ref>

Cyprus takes the view that the TRNC government is a puppet administration, and thus prefers to negotiate with Turkey over the resolution of the Cyprus Problem. Turkey insists that the TRNC government is the institution that the RoC government must refer to in negotiations.

Cyprus' accession to the European Union has had a negative impact on Turkey in regards to its own accession negotiations. The refusal of Turkey to allow Cypriot-flagged ships to access Turkish ports has resulted in a partial suspension of its accession negotiations.
