Erdogan’s Objection Leads to Cancellation of Netanyahu’s Participation in Egypt Summit — Turkish Media

ANKARA — Turkish media reports claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s participation in an upcoming summit in Egypt has been cancelled following objections from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

According to Turkish journalists, Ankara had conveyed a clear message that if Netanyahu attended the summit, the Turkish delegation would withdraw. The diplomatic move underscores growing tensions between Türkiye and Israel amid the ongoing Gaza conflict and Ankara’s strong criticism of Israeli actions in the region.

Regional analysts say the development reflects Türkiye’s increasingly assertive stance on Middle East diplomacy and its efforts to isolate Israel on the international stage over its military policies in Gaza.
