Foreign minister confirms Israel attending US-led peace summit in Bahrain

Foreign Minister Israel Katz says Israel will participate in the US-led economic peace conference in Bahrain next week.

Katz makes the remarks to reporters on the sidelines of the Jerusalem Post conference in New York.

Egypt, Morocco and Jordan have agreed to attend the unveiling of the economic component of a new US peace plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a workshop set for June 25 and 26 in Bahrain.

Israel did not say whether it was participating in the two-day conference, although reports indicated Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon would attend.
