The foreign ministers of several countries are scheduled to meet at the end of next month in Morocco to attend the second meeting of what was known as the "Negev Forum", which was launched last year for the first time in the Negev, south of occupied Palestine.

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz quoted Israeli sources as saying that the foreign ministers of Israel, the United States, and several Arab countries, including Egypt and the UAE, will participate in the meeting, which Morocco will host.

According to the same sources, the meeting was scheduled to take place early in the beginning of the year, but it was postponed due to security tensions in the Palestinian territories.

The meeting was held for the first time in March of last year in Sde Boker, in the Negev, at the initiative of the former Israeli Foreign Minister at the time, Yair Lapid, and it was decided at that time to hold it once a year in a different country.

According to the newspaper, one of the reasons for delaying its contract is the dispute between the United States and Morocco over its venue, after the latter demanded that it be held in Western Sahara, but Washington opposed and demanded that it be held in a politically non-controversial region.

In recent months, Israel, along with the United States, has sought to expand the circle of participants, and to add Muslim-majority African countries that do not currently maintain diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv, at a time when Arab countries participating in the forum demanded that he change his name so that his identity would not be identified so that he is clearly Israeli.
