Netanyahu withdraws from Gaza peace conference
Published: 05:10 13 October 2025
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend the 'Gaza Peace Conference' to be held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. This information was confirmed by his office on Monday (October 13).
Netanyahu's office said in a statement that he received an invitation to attend the conference and thanked US President Donald Trump for it. However, he is unable to attend the conference due to time constraints just before the start of the holiday.
Earlier, the White House and the Egyptian presidential office had said that Netanyahu would attend the conference. But his arrival was postponed due to last-minute changes in circumstances.
The conference is being held to advance the Gaza crisis and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Netanyahu's absence may raise questions about the effectiveness of the meeting among international diplomats.
