US EditionIsrael's Netanyahu won't attend Egypt summit on ending Gaza war
- On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to attend the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, thanking US President Donald Trump but citing time constraints ahead of Simchat Torah.

- As some participants seek wider normalization, the summit aims to end the Gaza war, bolster postwar recovery, and includes Indonesia's Prabowo Subianto asserting `We must also recognize, we must also respect, and we must also guarantee the safety and security of Israel`.
