    ​In the first meeting of the Negev Forum's Steering Committee since the Summit in Sde Boker, during which Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid hosted the foreign ministers of the US, UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt, the six founding countries decided to work decisively to bring security, prosperity, and stability to the Middle East.

    ​The meeting is of particular importance in light of US President Biden's expected visit to Israel and the Middle East and the American commitment to expanding the circle of peace.
