Negev Summit

The Negev Summit was a summit that took place on 27–28 March 2022 in Sde Boker, Israel, in which Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid hosted the foreign ministers of Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, as well as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The four Arab countries present at the conference were represented by their Foreign Ministers: Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates; Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, from Bahrain; Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Morocco; Sameh Shoukry, Foreign Minister from Egypt.

It was reported that the purpose of the summit was a demonstration of a united political and security front against Iran, against the background of the striving for the renewal of a nuclear agreement by the P5+1 powers and Iran, and against Iran's aggression throughout the Middle East. On March 28, 2022, it was announced that the conference was to become an annual forum, to be called the Negev Forum.
