President Isaac Herzog is slated to attend the forum, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not. Netanyahu confirmed earlier today that he had been invited to join the body.
The makeup of the board is still unclear, with some world leaders confirming they will join, while others have expressed skepticism or indicated they would need time to weigh the decision. The UN has expressed concerns that such a body will seek to undermine its own mandate.
