The UK has announced four rounds of sanctions since February 2024 against individuals and groups responsible for the violent expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, and against others responsible for inciting that violence. In each case, this has been done as a direct response to specific violent acts committed by the individuals and groups in question, or repeated incitement of violence against Palestinian civilians.
We are not aware of any allegations of an equivalent nature against individuals and groups in the north of Cyprus, but the UK will continue to take decisions on sanctions designations on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the relevant legal framework and statutory requirements.

The UK is fully committed to supporting security on the island of Cyprus, including for all those resident within the Sovereign Base Areas. The UK deployed additional military capabilities to the region, in January and February, to defend our interests and support the defence and security of Cyprus and the wider Eastern Mediterranean and our defence personnel have worked together closely in our mutual interests and deployed further assets following the start of the conflict in the Gulf. The Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary, and Defence Secretary all engaged extensively with their Cypriot counterparts during this time, and I have spoken numerous times to Foreign Minister Kombos, most recently this week, I have assured him of our continuing support for the security and safety of all the people of Cyprus.

As I said on my last visit to Nicosia on 19 March, the UK and the Republic of Cyprus have a strong friendship based on a long history, and we are committed to strengthening that partnership further in the years to come. My discussions with Foreign Minister Kombos on that visit covered a range of issues, including UK-Cyprus trade, our people-to-people ties, and our shared efforts to increase security and stability in the region. Under the terms of the 2022 UK‑Cyprus Memorandum of Understanding, we will keep working to strengthen cooperation between our countries across trade and investment, defence and security, and education and research.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 16 March 2026 to Question 119399 on Cyprus: Military Bases, what the evidential basis is that the relationship with the Republic of Cyprus has never been closer.
The UK's defence relationship with the Republic of Cyprus is multifaceted, underscored by an annual multi-domain bilateral cooperation programme. The activity outlined in this programme continues to increase year-on-year, identifying and exploiting previously unconsidered areas to the benefit of both nations. Evidence of this was the completion of the inaugural UK-Cyprus Industry Day, held at the Cypriot High Commission in December 2025.
The collaboration at the operational level is deep. This has been demonstrated through the coordination of air defence efforts in response to the current situation in the Middle East.
