Latest rumor: Israelis are buying a Cypriot town so Jews fleeing the war can occupy it

Egypt's Vetogate pretends to report:

A new Israeli plan to establish an alternative homeland to escape the war: Jewish settlers bought a Cypriot village and prevented its residents from accessing their property. The people of Trozina cry out against the approaching Israeli occupier.

A Cypriot village is being turned into an Israeli settlement. A state of widespread anger has gripped the residents of Trozina village in southern Cyprus, after investors from the Israeli occupation bought 70% of the village's land, thus taking control of most of the land and many buildings in the area. This has led many of the village's residents to ask, "Has the Israeli occupation begun to establish an alternative homeland because of the ongoing wars adopted by Netanyahu's extremist government, and the flight of many settlers abroad?!"

The continued purchase of land in Cyprus by Israeli investors has sparked widespread controversy, especially after reports that private security forces are imposing restrictions on entry to parts of the village and preventing visitors from entering certain areas of their village. Despite statements by Cypriot authorities that the village is still under state control and that people can enter it, there are fears that Israel is taking control of the land in Cyprus and turning it into an alternative homeland for extremist settlers.

Some of this was actually on Greek social media. And as usual, there is a small grain of truth here. But the story itself is absurd.

Trozena is an abandoned village. One Jewish investor from Hungary who has some unspecified ties to Israel bought much of the land to develop it into a tourist site. Here is an interview:

The businessman behind the redevelopment of the abandoned Limassol village of Trozena has gone public for the first time, clarifying that his plan calls for 60 rooms — not 60 houses as previously reported — and that he did not purchase the village church.

Uriel Curtis, who was born and raised in Hungary and has Israeli roots, appeared on the Alpha television programme Alpha Enimerosi alongside Arsos community leader Giannakis Giannaki, addressing questions that have arisen in recent days about the project.

Curtis said he first visited Trozena five years ago and was immediately taken with it. He said he set out to understand why the village had been abandoned and to establish its ownership status.

“My vision was very simple from the start — to create a space for everyone who needs time to rest and unwind,” he said.

He was clear that the development would comprise 60 rooms, not individual houses, and that the church had not been purchased. “The church is not for sale, and I hope it never will be,” he said.

Giannaki confirmed that the church belongs to the Paphos Metropolis and is not for sale. He said improvements carried out at the church were done on the investor’s initiative and at his expense.

The community leader said Curtis had purchased 17 of the village’s approximately 30 properties from Greek Cypriot owners, along with surrounding agricultural land where vines have been planted for a winery. “Before all this, the village was a jungle,” he said.

On the historic metal bridge, Giannaki said it would be preserved as a museum exhibit, with a new bridge to be built for public use.

Most countries welcome foreign investment that would attract tourists. But when Jews are the investors, they are automatically suspected of having an agenda.
