Foreign Minister Yair Lapid says that the shared capabilities and regional security architecture under discussion “intimidates and deters our common enemies — first and foremost, Iran and its proxies.”
“They certainly have something to fear,” he says.
“This meeting is the first of its kind, but not the last,” he says. “Last night we decided to make the Negev Summit a permanent forum.”
Lapid concludes by saying that Palestinians are also invited to replace the use of terror with progress and success.
