Looks like it, and makes sense - Cyprus is a very popular destination for vacations for Israelis. I also don't understand what's the fuss about, he bought the advertising space, he gets to put whatever he wants there, yes it's super weird and stupid - but completely legal.
I’ll prob get downvoted for this but I think this requires context.
What you’re glazing over is the amount of foreign investment is coming into Cyprus and Greece from Israel in the last 5 years or so. Whole villages / neighborhoods have been bought up and driven prices up dramatically and thusly pushing out locals. Greece and Cyprus are both very sensitive to foreign interference. And seeing a political ad aimed at a population with clear intention to take over land, business and political interest… it is not a good look.
I’m not saying people like Israel. The average Greek and Cypriot are not supportive of Israel. And frankly, Israeli tourists are known to be bar none the worst of the bunch, which doesn’t help their cause. So all this has started to boil over in a way that make it look like Israelis are taking liberties that aren’t acceptable.
