A protest took place outside the presidential palace in Nicosia, Cyprus, on June 30, 2026, in response to a multi-day meeting of the "Board of Peace for Gaza," which organizers describe as influenced by Trump-era policies. Over 150 demonstrators, including various advocacy groups and political parties, gathered to voice their opposition to the conference, which they argue excludes Palestinian voices and reflects a biased approach to regional peace efforts.
Protesters carried Palestinian flags and chanted slogans such as "Freedom for Palestine" and "Stop the genocide, free Palestine," reflecting their concerns about the implications of the meeting. The gathering was organized by a coalition of left-wing parties and civil society organizations calling for the Cypriot government to withdraw support for the initiative. This demonstration was described as a peaceful assembly, but it highlighted significant discord regarding international efforts surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The protests continued to resonate within Cyprus, leading to further calls for action and discussion regarding the government's involvement in the event, with many citizens expressing the belief that silence on such issues equals complicity.
