World leaders are gathering in Egypt to discuss the next steps towards peace.
Donald Trump is due to arrive in Israel on Monday to address the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, before travelling to Sharm el-Sheikh for the leaders’ summit he will head with headed by Trump and Egyptian president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, would also attend the summit, an Axios reporter said on Sunday, citing a senior Palestinian official.
Iran, however, said it would not attend after confirming it had been invited by Egypt. Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X:
While favoring diplomatic engagement, neither President Pezeshkian nor I can engage with counterparts who have attacked the Iranian People and continue to threaten and sanction us.
Leaders from more than 20 countries will reportedly attend the Egypt summit on peace in Gaza and the broader Middle East.
