Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he would not be attending the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, due to limited time ahead of the Jewish holiday Shemini Atzeret-Simchat Torah, which begins tonight.
Although earlier reports suggested Netanyahu had accepted an invitation from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to join the high-level diplomatic gathering, his office later clarified that he would not be traveling. According to The Times of Israel, Netanyahu made the decision while present in the Knesset Chamber with US President Donald Trump, during a conversation with President al-Sisi.
In a statement shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), the Prime Minister’s Office noted that Trump also extended an invitation to Netanyahu for the summit. However, the Prime Minister expressed his gratitude and declined, citing scheduling conflicts related to the upcoming religious observance.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited by US President Donald Trump to attend today’s conference in Egypt. The Prime Minister thanked President Trump for the invitation but said he will be unable to attend due to time constraints ahead of the start of the holiday,” the statement read.
Traditionally, Israeli leaders avoid official travel during major Jewish holidays or the Sabbath, unless exceptional national circumstances arise, according to The Times of Isreal

]]>The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that the bombings on Gaza were done to discourage. It was not done to annihilate the Islamist rulers.
He said,”There are only two ways that you can deal with them”, addressing the Hamas in a Tel Aviv briefing for a group of foreign ambassadors. “You can either conquer them, and that’s always an open possibility, or you can deter them, and we are engaged right now in forceful deterrence, but I have to say we don’t rule out anything”.
Netanyahu connected the dramatic rush in violence to a decision by Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas to cancel the elections that was scheduled for this weekend. Palestinian experts say that Hamas is now seeking to establish the real defenders of Palestinians against Israel.
Netanyahu said,” When Hamas saw that these elections were not going to take place, they sought to.. incite riots, to incite violence, in order to further their political goals”.
