Another trilateral meeting took place between Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, focusing on energy and defense. Despite the frequent meetings, the results remain unclear. In the energy sector, cooperation on the Aphrodite field remains at a standstill, while EastMed and GSI have proven unfeasible. In the defense sector, Israel appears to be the winner, having found a new customer for its weapons systems in Cyprus. President Christodoulides expressed a desire for Turkey's participation in the trilateral meetings, setting as a condition its withdrawal from Cyprus and respect for international law, which was categorically rejected by Turkish President Erdogan.
