U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace is set to convene at a Cyprus resort on June 30 to “adjust its strategy,” an official familiar with the matter told POLITICO.

Two senior EU officials, involved in the arrangements for the gathering and granted anonymity to speak freely, confirmed the meeting will take place on the Mediterranean island next week and last two or three days. The goal is to “reset” after “the Iran war has completely shifted the attention in the last several months,” said one of the officials.

The meeting will be attended by representatives from the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza — a committee of Palestinian technocrats tasked with replacing Hamas in governing the Gaza Strip — and the Office of Nikolay Mladenov, the former Bulgarian diplomat Trump appointed as his high representative for Gaza, according to the officials.

Cyprus, which is in line with the EU’s position, will attend as an observer. “Cyprus is not a co-organizer of the event, and it is not taking place at a political level. Cyprus was chosen by the executive committee,” explained one of the officials.
