Knesset Speaker, Yuli-Yoel Edelstein, had extended the invitations in an attempt to push as many African leaders as possible to attend the conference.
Slated to be held on Tuesday, the conference will tackle a number of key issues including women empowerment, gender equality, and anti-terror bills.
Rwanda’s female parliament speaker Donatille Mukabalisa, along with the chair of the Knesset’s committee on the status of women and gender equality Aida Touma Sliman, will reportedly be in attendance.
