Foreign ministers from three Arab countries are taking part in a historic summit in Israel on Sunday attended by the United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The participation of the representatives from the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Moroco is a further indication of growing Israeli-Arab ties following the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020.
The foreign minister of Egypt is also scheduled to join the talks in Sde Boker in the Negev where the regional threat posed by Iran will be high on the agenda.
The USA is seen as close to agreeing a new deal with Iran which would see sanctions lifted in return for halting its programme to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
