Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry is expected to attend the “historic” diplomatic summit in Israel on Sunday, joining foreign ministers from the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco — signatories to the US-brokered Abraham Accords in 2020 — for the two-day event.
Hebrew-language news site Walla reports that sources with knowledge of the preparations surrounding the summit said Shoukry will arrive in Israel on Sunday, joining US Secteray of State Anthony Blinken, the UAE’s Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Bahrain’s Abdullatif bin Rashid Al- Zayani and Morocco’s Nasser Bourita for the gathering.
Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid will be hosting the event on Sunday and Monday. The sources tell Walla efforts are being made to host Jordan’s foreign minister as well.
Israel has made strengthening the Abraham Accords a top priority, scheduling regular diplomatic meetings to member countries.
Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett traveled to the Sinai resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh for the first-ever trilateral summit with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
