Negev Summit Displays the New Architecture of the Middle East

(Middle East Transparent) Pierre Akel - The Israeli-Arab-American Negev Summit took place on Sunday, attended by four Arab ministers, plus U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Israeli analyst Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yosef Kuperwasser said: "The historic significance of the meeting of the 6 foreign ministers lies in the clear message that the new architecture of the Middle East is a fait accompli. The location and the wide participation prove the central role of Israel as a main regional player that can compensate for the void created by the American decision to pivot away from the Middle East." Israeli analyst Dr. Nir Boms said: "This...summit [is] a first of its kind, that cements this new relationship, this new regional alliance. The presence of Secretary Blinken means that the United States in still IN and it embraces and supports the Abraham Accords....All the parties are engaged with each other and with Israel. I think parties in the region...realize that they must assert leadership and work together facing the challenges that we all have." Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, Director of the Project on Regional Middle East Developments at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, was formerly head of the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence. Dr. Nir Boms is a research fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University and at the International Center for Counter Terrorism in Herzliya.
