Foreign Minister Eli Cohen says two countries that don’t have diplomatic ties with Jerusalem were due to take part in next month’s Negev Forum, which host Morocco has postponed over Israeli settlement expansion and anti-Palestinian violence.
Cohen predicts both nations — which he doesn’t name — will attend when the forum eventually does convene, potentially in September.
“I’m happy to say that we’re in touch with a number of countries, which as of today we don’t have ties with, in order to expand the Abraham Accords,” he tells the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, referring to the US-backed normalization agreements.
