J'lem confident Cyprus will maintain friendly ties

Israeli officials expressed confidence on Monday that recently reinvigorated ties with Cyprus will continue under newly elected president Nicos Anastasiades, who handily won Cyprus’s runoff election on Sunday.
Anastasiades, a center-right candidate who defeated a left-wing contender, is considered “very friendly” toward Israel and made a rare visit here in January 2012 as head of the opposition.
