A senior U.S. official has informed Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend the diplomatic talks scheduled in France. The official's statement, reported by N12, does not specify the reason for the absence or whether the talks have been rescheduled or will proceed without Israel's leader. The report is attributed to a single U.S. source and has not yet been corroborated by other outlets or by the Prime Minister's Office. The nature and agenda of the France talks were not detailed in the initial report. Ravid, a well-connected diplomatic correspondent, regularly sources information from senior American and Israeli officials.
