It remains unclear whether the Board of Peace (BoP) convened on the island of Cyprus this week as reports and government confirmations remain unverified. While the Cypriot government had earlier confirmed the meeting following a Politico report stating the BoP would meet to "readjust its strategy," sources have since provided no additional information. The government emphasizes that Cyprus serves only as a venue, with no direct involvement at a political level.

The BoP, an organisation linked to post-war governance and reconstruction in Gaza, includes various branches led by US President Donald Trump as lifetime chairman. Cyprus participates only as an observer on issues related to Gaza under UN Security Council Resolution 2803. Meanwhile, planned bilateral talks between former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Nikos Christodoulides were cancelled due to a flight delay but may be held via phone.

The meeting has sparked protests, notably by Akel outside the presidential palace, reflecting local political tensions. Financial reports reveal the BoP's fund remains empty despite $17 billion pledged, highlighting the ongoing challenges of financing reconstruction projects in Gaza.
