The Qatari channel Al-Araby reports that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will attend tomorrow’s Egyptian-American summit in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Earlier, the newspaper, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, reported that the Palestinian Authority was not invited to the summit, which includes representatives from 20 countries, and that Egypt had rejected its request to participate due to the fact that the Palestinian Authority does not appear in the White House’s “day after” plan for Gaza.
