U.S., Mideast allies show unity at landmark Israel summit amid Iran worries

The foreign ministers of United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco, which normalized ties with Israel in a 2020 U.S. diplomatic drive, attended the summit in Sde Boker — where the founding Israeli prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, is buried.

Also there was the foreign minister of Egypt, which in 1979 became the first Arab country to make peace with Israel.

“The (region’s) moderates are convening to talk and to form a front against the extremists,” Gil Haskel, an official with Israel’s Foreign Ministry, told public broadcaster Kan, referring to Iran’s hardline Islamist rulers.

“There are nuances, different perspectives being discussed or argued about, there is some agreement about some issues and less so about others — but there’s no doubt in this room around the table that Iran must not be nuclear.”
