To your question my memory is that Egypt conmects through Israrl first, Cyprus i dont remember. Even if it doesnt go to Israel first Israel controls Egypts water through Ethopia and theres some other agreements vital including energy that Egypt buys from Israel which they will turn off if Egypt tries anything independently. Cyprus is just an Israeli enclave now its only a matter of time before ta jew runs that place and they declare some sort of soverign stance against Turkey aggressively.
