Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu missed the ceremony celebrating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz as he deals with legal woes at home and the threat of arrest abroad.

The Israeli Cabinet was set to meet Thursday to approve a cease-fire and hostage-release deal with Hamas in Gaza brokered by the U.S., Qatar and Egypt, raising hopes for the end of a 15-month war which killed tens of thousands of people.

As world leaders gather at Auschwitz to mark a solemn anniversary, one notable figure will be missing, sparking intrigue and speculation across the globe.

Even before it was signed, the Gaza ceasefire forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into a tight spot - between a new U.S. president promising peace and far-right allies who want war to resume.

The deal was set to be ratified by the Israeli Cabinet on Thursday. But Netanyahu says, without specifying, that Hamas has gone back on several parts of the ceasefire deal at the last minute.

Donald Trump was sworn into office on Monday for a second term in the White House, and international figures across the globe are sharing their reactions to the 47th president's inauguration. Here's what world leaders are saying:

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel delayed a Cabinet vote Thursday on the long-awaited ceasefire deal that would pause the fighting in the Gaza Strip and release dozens of hostages. Israeli airstrikes, meanwhile, killed at least 72 people in the war-ravaged territory.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Friday that his county’s military might not withdraw all of its forces from Lebanon by this weekend’s deadline set in its ceasefire with Hezbollah

Poland joined other EU countries in allowing the Israeli leader entry without threat of arrest, this time for a ceremony commemorating the liberation of Auschwitz — which Netanyahu had no intention of attending anyway.

Hamas will release more Israeli hostages this week, officials said Monday, including Agam Berger, who was not released along with four of her colleagues on Saturday.
