Cyprus Navigates Trump's Peace Council, Doesn't Reject Outright

Cyprus has chosen not to directly engage with Donald Trump's newly formed Peace Council, but has not outright rejected the proposal. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicated with the State Department to clarify Nicosia's position and express the government's concerns regarding this initiative. Trump's move, which bypasses the United Nations, raises questions about his intentions and the potential replacement of the UN's role in resolving international issues. Cyprus, like other countries in the Middle East, is closely monitoring developments and anticipating how its interests will be affected.
