AKEL Criticizes US 'Peace Council' as Undermining UN

AKEL condemns the US-established 'Peace Council' for Gaza, stating it does not represent a ceasefire mechanism but an attempt to undermine the UN. The party believes this is a strategy by the Trump administration to establish a new international organization that will compete with the UN. AKEL emphasizes that marginalizing the UN and disregarding international law is detrimental to global stability and that Cyprus, as a state based on international law, will be disadvantaged if the UN is weakened. AKEL urges the Christodoulides government to consider the implications of these plans for Cyprus and the Cyprus issue.
