Official says Negev Summit to include visit to Ben Gurion’s grave

An official close to Foreign Minister Yair Lapid says there will be a series of bilateral meetings tomorrow, as well as a roundtable of all six senior diplomats participating in the Negev Summit.

The official adds that there will be a visit to the grave of Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, but does not specify whether all the visiting Arab ministers will participate.

Arab Israeli singer Valerie Hamati will sing Hallelujah in Arabic, English, and Hebrew to open tomorrow’s talks.

Moroccan foreign minister Nasser Bourita will leave early tomorrow, around 2 p.m., to prepare to receive US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Morocco.
