Israel’s Netanyahu Will Not Attend Gaza Peace Summit Despite Earlier Statement by Egypt

Netanyahu to Miss Gaza Peace Summit

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh due to the Jewish holiday Simchat Torah, his office announced on Monday.

This announcement came after Egypt's presidency stated that Netanyahu would be attending the summit, following a phone call between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump, who is co-chairing the summit, was reportedly accompanied by Netanyahu while in Israel, where the three leaders discussed the ongoing ceasefire efforts in Gaza.
