Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife arrived several minutes late to the Paris ceremony at which world leaders were marking the 100 years since the First World War, according to Israel’s Channel 10.
Citing the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, the channel reported that Mr Netanyahu and his wife had turned up at the wrong location, having been given incorrect instructions.
Israeli journalist Dov Alfon tweeted: “The WW1 ceremony began at 11:19 instead of 11:10 because of #Netanyahou and wife not arriving on time.
“Since protocol could not be changed, Merkel, Trump and Putin closed the arrival sequence and the Israeli PM didn’t walk with the leaders.”
