An Israeli government minister has received an apology from organisers of Cop26 and Boris Johnson after she could not attend the summit on Monday due to a lack of wheelchair accessibility.

Karine Elharrar, minister of energy, criticised organisers of the global conference on Twitter after failing to get access to the campus on its opening day.
