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.
