Israelrsquos energy minister shut out of COP26 as venue wasnrsquot wheelchair accessible
Israel’s energy minister Karine Elharrar was unable to participate in the first full day of the United Nation's COP26 summit in Glasgow on Monday because the venue was not accessible by wheelchair.
Ms Elharrar, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, told Israel’s Channel 12 she was taken to several entrances but could not gain access to the conference grounds.
There were only two ways of accessing the venue - walking or boarding the shuttle transport - none of which were suited for a wheelchair.
