World leaders to gather in Egypt for a peace ceremony with President Donald Trump and President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, as speculation grows that the Abraham Accords could expand.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend Monday’s peace conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will host more than 20 world leaders in a bid to cement an end to the war in Gaza.
Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister was « unable to attend due to time constraints ahead of the start of the holiday. » October 13–15 marks Shemini Atzeret, followed by Simchat Torah on October 15.
Leader of Israel’s left-wing Democrats, Yair Golan, condemned the decision.
