Cyprus is a large island in the eastern Mediterranean, off the coast of Turkey. There is a long-standing problem between the Greeks and the Turks about the political governance of the island, and it's been divided since about 1963. The UN patrols the border.
There have never been hostilities between Cyprus and Israel.

"Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea south of modern-day Turkey. The third largest island in the Mediterranean, it is currently divided into four main portions: the southern Republic of Cyprus (the island nation-state), the unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (occupied by Turkey since 1974), the United Nations-controlled Green Line separating the two, and two British Base Areas. Cyprus has been a member state of the European Union since 1 May 2004."

Cyprus is an island nation member of the European Union it's south of Turkey, north of Egypt, west of Syria east of Greece. Cyprus has friendly relationship with Israel as well as with all the Arab countries. The Turkish army illegally occupies the north 34% of the island. Cyprus is very safe as there wasnt any military conflict since the Turkish invasion in 1974. It is a popular tourist destination and very cosmopolitan.

Wow, did not realize it was going to be so difficult to find a good map of the area.
Cyprus is just south of Turkey and West of Syria in the Mediterranean Sea. A good map can be found below:

As you can see it is near Israel, but I think Israel is too busy with Lebanon to bother starting a fight with Cyprus.
The US State Department has some good info on International travel warnings.

Cyprus is an island nation due west from Israel and Lebanon and south of Turkey.
It is a full member of the European Union and therefore I would not worry too much about Muslim or Israeli attacks.
