The Israeli leader’s absence draws attention during a landmark moment for regional diplomacy.
World leaders gathered in Egypt for the signing of a Gaza ceasefire agreement led by
Donald Trump and Egyptian President el-Sisi, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was notably absent.
The agreement was endorsed by representatives from multiple nations, signaling broad international support for the initiative.
Observers say Netanyahu’s absence highlights political divisions within Israel over the terms of the ceasefire and future governance in Gaza.
