Foreign Ministry Director General Ronen Levy lands in Abu Dhabi at the head of Israel’s delegation to the first in-person summit of the I2U forum, consisting of Israel, India, the US and the UAE.

“This forum is evidence that the fruits of the Abraham Accords and new connections between peoples and countries sharing their capabilities and know-how can contribute to prosperity in the Middle East and beyond,” says Levy.

The group came together last July as a follow-on to the Abraham Accords, when they announced the partners would cooperate on water, energy, transportation, space, health and food security.

Israel’s delegation of 40 includes representatives from private sector companies as well as officials from the Economy, Energy, Agriculture, Health and Transportation ministries and members of Israel’s Innovation Authority, Export Institute, Manufacturers Association, Water Authority and Space Agency.

The Space Agency officials will lead a new space initiative examining ways to deal with climate change at the summit.
