Several leaders threaten boycott over Netanyahu's Gaza summit invite
'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been advised not to attend the upcoming Gaza peace summit in Egypt after his potential participation, which circulated online for a few hours, prompted a number of Muslim and regional leaders to consider boycotting the entire event.
The summit, aimed at discussing post-war arrangements and peace measures in Gaza, has become a focal point of diplomatic tension, with key regional actors expressing concerns over 'Israel’s' role in the negotiations.

Reports suggest that some officials argued Netanyahu’s presence could undermine the summit’s credibility and the participation of Arab and Muslim delegations. Discussions are ongoing among organizers to determine the final guest list and prevent a diplomatic standoff.
The summit is seen as a critical platform for international and regional powers to coordinate Gaza’s reconstruction, security arrangements, and humanitarian aid in the aftermath of the recent aggression.
