The Real Reason Netanyahu’s Canceled His Participation in the Gaza Summit – IT WAS NOT BIBI’S FAULT

From Israelhayom.com

After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join the peace conference in Egypt, several Arab leaders threatened to boycott the event. The threat worked, and Netanyahu canceled his participation in the summit, despite Trump’s encouragement for him to attend.

After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join the peace conference in Egypt, several Arab leaders threatened to boycott the event. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan went so far as to warn Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi that he would turn his plane back to Ankara if Netanyahu arrived.

The threat worked, and Netanyahu canceled his participation in the summit, despite Trump’s encouragement for him to attend.

According to the Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency, Erdogan’s aircraft circled in the air several times before the announcement that Netanyahu had withdrawn from the conference. The agency added a telling detail: “President Erdogan’s plane crossed the approach path to Sharm el-Sheikh and remained for a time over the Red Sea.”

Israel Hayom has learned that the Turks also conveyed a message to the Americans, expressing anger that the move had not been coordinated with them. Following consultations between American officials and later with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides, it was decided to cancel the visit. Netanyahu’s office then searched for an explanation for his withdrawal from the summit, eventually settling on “the start of the holiday” as the reason. In reality, there had been no discussion of the matter with the ultra-Orthodox parties or with the right-wing factions in the coalition.

A diplomatic source involved in the events told Israel Hayom that several countries are still not ready for President Donald Trump’s groundbreaking regional initiatives and that more time and progress in other areas are needed to arrange a broad meeting of regional leaders with Israel.

According to the source, such a summit requires lengthy diplomatic preparation and prior agreement on key understandings. “The president’s diplomatic spontaneity did not go down smoothly with several regional leaders,” the source added.

As previously reported by Israel Hayom, Trump is planning a more organized and extended visit to the region in the coming months to announce his “mega deal” — his political, strategic, and economic plan for the Middle East, which is expected to include expanding the Abraham Accords and additional agreements in the fields of energy, trade, and more.

If you watched Trump speak  at the summit, you will remember him calling Erdogan “A good friend who has always been there for him.”

YEAH – RIGHT

  1. My unpopular statement is trump does not have a blind spot but knows exactly what he is doing.
    I’ll shift to something actually related.
    Across from Sinai on the gulf of Suez red sea area is an isolated Egyptian resort city of Hurghada with no hidden isis cells in the region. A great place for a summit.
    So why sharm el sheikh like Hurghada but with isis cells in the region ?
    In 1967 Israel captured Sharm , an Egyptian military outpost. Israel started there a resort town of Ophira with a naval base. Israel built 2 very important roads and much infrastructure. Egypt ‘Liberated’ the town from Israel not by war, but by peace negotiations and deals.
    Islamists understand the meaning of summits at this location,but not the west. Trump’s summit at Sharm rang loud and clear to the Arab word. Halt war and shrink tiny Israel by peace deals. When all done, pounce and destroy Israel is no concern as trump and friends got their money rewards.
