A Palestinian official confirms to The Times of Israel that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will attend tomorrow’s Egyptian-American summit about postwar Gaza in Sharm el-Sheikh, despite Israel ruling out any postwar role for the PA in Gaza.
Initial reports had said that the Palestinian Authority would not be represented at the event, which is expected to include officials from some 30 nations, but not Israel.
