AKEL Criticizes Government's Participation in Trump's Peace Initiative

AKEL is accusing the Christodoulides government of “ideological obsession” due to its participation in the “Peace Council” formed by Donald Trump. The party expresses fears that this decision endangers international law and the Cyprus issue, as the government aligns itself with initiatives that undermine the international system established after World War II. AKEL argues that the United States is attempting to marginalize the UN and that Cyprus’s participation in such initiatives is detrimental to its interests. Furthermore, AKEL criticizes the government for misleading justifications regarding UN Security Council Resolution 2803, arguing that Trump’s initiative has broader ambitions than managing Gaza.
