Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited by US President Trump to attend a world leaders summit in Sharm El Sheikh on Monday but he will not join it because it was too close to the start of a Jewish holiday, Netanyahu's office said.
Over 20 world leaders will weigh next steps under Trump's 20-point plan aimed at securing a lasting peace after two years of an Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, where a ceasefire came into effect on Friday.
An Egyptian presidential spokesperson earlier said he would attend.
