Israel believes that the second Negev Forum will take place in October, after the Jewish holidays, says Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.

There will likely be two additional Muslim countries who join as observers, Cohen says, without elaborating.

The Foreign Ministry is weighing several options for a new name for the forum that is less Israel-centric.
