President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, stressed the importance of de-escalating the crisis in the Middle East, noting in an interview with Bloomberg TV the need for coordination between the European Union, countries of the region, the United States and third countries, in order to achieve a ceasefire through diplomatic means. If de-escalation is not achieved, the consequences will be serious, he said, proposing, among other things, the creation of a “coalition of the willing” to present a de-escalation plan.
