A two-day meeting of the Board of Peace, established by former U.S. President Donald Trump to promote peace and prosperity in Gaza, was reportedly held in Cyprus, but government officials have neither confirmed nor publicized the event. Despite prior Israeli media reports anticipating the meeting, Cypriot authorities remained uncommunicative, raising questions about the meeting’s secrecy and location.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a Board of Peace executive member, was expected to attend and meet Cyprus’ president; however, his arrival was reportedly canceled due to a delayed flight, with no public sightings or confirmations. Palestinian and Board of Peace experts reportedly conducted sessions, but details remain scarce.

In other political developments, the cooperation dynamics between Cyprus’ president and junior coalition partners have intensified, while economic challenges continue with inflation rising to 4 percent in June. The government insists that ongoing fiscal measures are aiding households, although experts warn that increased disposable income may fuel inflation further.
