Jerusalem (CNN) Israeli Energy Minister Karine Elharrar, who was unable to attend the COP26 climate conference Monday because of a lack of wheelchair access, told CNN she has accepted British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's apology. Of course, I accepted and hopefully, it won't happen again," Elharrar said to CNN's Max Foster during an interview in Glasgow on Tuesday. When asked who she thought was responsible for the issue, Elharrar, who suffers from muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, said she didn't want to judge. "Instead of dealing with green energy, with collaborations between countries in order to fight the climate change, I promoted accessibility," she continued.
