President Anastasiades will visit Jerusalem following the formation of the government in Israel.
Anastasiades held a telephone communication with Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend whom he congratulated on the positive conclusion in the effort to form a government in Israel.
Anastasiades briefed the Prime Minister of Israel on the latest developments on the Cyprus problem and the prospects for the resumption of the talks.
Last month Anastasiades met with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who was the island on a private visit.
The President hosted a lunch for Lieberman in the presidential retreat in the Troodos mountains.
The two men discussed developments in the Cyprus problem, bilateral relations and their further enhancement.
Meanwhile, understanding between Cyprus and Israel has improved substantially during the past few years Israeli Ambassador in Nicosia Michael Harari has stressed, adding that the leaderships of the two countries are engaged in a constant dialogue, aiming to further deepen and enhance their relations, in various fields, including energy, technology, agriculture and tourism.
The Ambassador told the Cyprus News Agency that the number of Israeli who visited Cyprus in 2014 almost redoubled.
With regard to cooperation between countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, he said any regional cooperation which contributes to stability will encourage even more countries to join forces.
