The second gathering of the Negev Forum will likely take place in Morocco in mid-July, a diplomatic official tells The Times of Israel.
The precise date will be nailed down in the upcoming meeting of the steering committee of the six-state body.
It is almost certain that the name will be changed to something more regional and less Israel-specific, but the final decision on the name has yet to be made, says the official.
The Negev Forum brings together Israel with its Abraham Accord partners — the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco — along with the US and Egypt.
