Israelis are the major buyers or massive amounts of land in the north in the last 3 years.

or maybe they know how it's to pass through a genocide and thus are not afraid of trading with the turkish cypriot nation.

I dont understand the aim of the sanctions on the North, it hasn`t brought down Denktash or reduced support for this nationalists, if anything its made them more reluctant to change.

The assumption of this embargo is that every single house and every single acre of land was owned by a G/C and everybody is a settlers. You could not be so further from the truth.

Because of this assumption, T/C sportsmen, athletes, pupils, students and chess players cannot participate in any international event, not even as a political entity. There are T/C properties scattered across the South that we cannot return to even now, but do they have sanctions? No, its a different set of rules for them.

Chess players????
Weird, I like it.

But, point taken...

Its not the first time Israel has tried to spend money in Northern Cyprus, check out this article I found

GREEK CYPRIOT ADMINISTRATION PREVENTS ISRAELI TOURISTS FROM CROSSING OVER TO TRNC

Greek Cypriot officials prevented 14 Israeli tourists who wanted to cross over to the TRNC from Beyarmudu on August 14.

Greek Cypriot daily ‘Mahi’ wrote that the Israeli tourists were prevented from entering the TRNC by Greek Cypriot police officials and that Greek Cypriot police are doing everything they can to send back the 14 Israeli tourists in question back to Israel.

The daily reported that last Thursday evening (August 14) an Israeli plane carrying 165 Israeli tourists landed at Larnaca and they were to be put up in hotels in Larnaca. The daily added that the next day (August 14), the 14 Israeli tourists in question, with their luggage, were arrested by Greek Cypriot police after attempting to cross over to the TRNC from Pile.

yes but that limits them to playing just G/Cs. If you was a famous ballerina, and was really good in your part of Cyprus and you wanted to perform in places like concert halls and operas in places like St Petersburg and romantic cities like Paris and Florence and Vienna would you be content with just North Cyprus?
