26 March 2022 – byGinette · 1 min read

Israel has announced Morocco’s participation in a "historic" meeting organized as part of the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This diplomatic summit will be held between the United States and the three Arab countries that have normalized their relations with the Hebrew state.

According to i24news.tv, it is at the invitation of the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yaïr Lapid, that this meeting is being held on Sunday and Monday. "The US Secretary of State and the Foreign Ministers of the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Bahrain will arrive in Israel for a series of diplomatic meetings," says a statement from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As this last-minute meeting is taking place during the same period as Anthony Blinken’s Maghreb tour, the same source estimates that there is a strong chance that this tour will be postponed.
