British Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologized to Israeli Energy Minister Karine Elharrar Tuesday after she was unable to attend the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland yesterday due to the lack of wheelchair accessibility in the shuttle which brought attendees to the event.

Johnson met with Elharrar and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on the sidelines of the conference Tuesday afternoon.

"I understand there was confusion with the conduct yesterday. I'm very sorry about that," Johnson told Elharrar.

Johnson added to Bennett: "We need to learn from the booster (vaccination) campaign in Israel. The booster operation is running now, but we need it to go with Israeli speed. We want some of that spirit in the UK."
