At the Negev Summit, Israel’s Ambassador to Egypt Amira Oron says the conference of Israeli and Arab foreign ministers “shows that the region is changing dramatically.”

She adds: “We have the same interests, challenges and threats — certainly Iran, but we’re also discussing other things.”

Oron also asserts that Egyptian public opinion is also increasingly in favor of “nurturing and actualizing the peace agreement we’ve had for the past 43 years.”

She notes that a growing number of Egyptian businesses are looking at the potential in Israel.

Meanwhile the Egyptian foreign ministry tweets out its first joint photo of ministers at the conference.
