Greece-Cyprus-Israel, trilateral summit...
Athens returned this week to the epicenter of geopolitical developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, where the trilateral summit between Greece, Israel and Cyprus was held, with the presence of the top leaders of these countries: Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Benjamin Netanyahu and Nikos Christodoulides.
At a time when the region is facing numerous tensions and a reshaping of the balance of power, this allied trio made it clear that it is determined to oppose any attempt at destabilization by actors with neo-imperialist ambitions. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu gave the most direct and strongest statement of the summit, addressing Turkey with a clear message: “Whoever thinks of reviving empires, we tell them clearly, it will not happen. Don’t even think about it.” He considered the alliance with Greece and Cyprus as a defensive wall for freedom, prosperity and security in the region, emphasizing that these three countries represent the voice of democracy in the Mediterranean, at a time when aggressive rhetoric and military interventions are becoming a diplomatic tool of some states.
For his part, Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis stressed that close cooperation with Israel and Cyprus is no longer a regional experiment, but a serious strategic platform that affects not only energy balances, but also the Euro-Mediterranean security architecture. At the center of the discussions were developments in the energy sector and plans to transform Greece and Israel into exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG), with the aim of building a new energy corridor that will connect the Mediterranean with Ukraine, bypassing Russian and Turkish influence on these strategic lines. The major IMEC project was also mentioned, which aims to build a trade and infrastructure corridor that will connect India with Europe through Cyprus and Greece, leaving Turkey out and establishing Athens as a new strategic Euro-Asian bridge. Mitsotakis added that it is time for the concepts of cooperation to be translated into concrete projects, with real effects on the economy, trade and security.
In a move that shows Athens' new diplomatic ambition, the summit was not limited to technical topics, but also touched on the dimension of peace in the Middle East. Mitsotakis expressed solidarity with Lebanon, stressed the need to protect religious minorities in Syria and condemned any form of anti-Semitism or religious hatred, clearly aligning himself with Western allies. For his part, the president of Cyprus, Christodoulides, reinforced the message that this regional trio is no longer simply symbolic, but a real power structure that openly opposes Turkey's policies of division and control.
Against the backdrop of this summit that clearly challenges Ankara's neo-Ottoman ambitions, the United States is also expected to increase its commitment to the 3+1 format, turning this axis into a Mediterranean mini-NATO with a direct impact on Europe's energy security. For Albania, these developments are strong signals for repositioning in the region: Tirana should be more active in energy connectivity projects and clearer in distancing itself from Erdogan's policies that endanger the stability of the region and religious harmony in the Balkans.
