Meeting of the Peace Council for Gaza in Cyprus
June 24, 2026
The Peace Council for Gaza is set to meet in Cyprus on June 30, aiming to restart plans for the region's reconstruction amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. The Council faces challenges such as funding and security, with previous progress being limited. Concerns remain about how a proposed technocratic leadership will be accepted by the Palestinian people. While the presence of Nikolai Mladenov from the U.S. lends institutional weight, it is not sufficient without international support. Cyprus's geographical proximity to the Middle East makes it a strategically significant location for this meeting.
