This depends on who is defining the Middle East, but generally, Cyprus is considered part of Europe. However, there is a minority opinion that because Cyprus is due south of Turkey that it is in "Asian space" and, therefore, physically part of the Middle East.

What is the smallest country in Southwest Asia and North Africa?

It depends on how you count this.The four smallest countries in the Middle East and North Africa are Lebanon, Cyprus, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (from largest to smallest). Lebanon is the smallest, clearly recognized country that is clearly in the Middle East. Cyprus is the smallest, clearly recognized country in the Middle East region, but there is debate as to whether Cyprus is in the Middle East or in Europe. The State of Palestine is smaller than Cyprus and clearly in the Middle East, but it is not clearly recognized. The Turkish Republic of Cyprus is the smallest, but is not clearly in the Middle East (for the same reasons as Cyprus more generally) and is only recognized by Turkey.
