Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed on Friday that he was invited to the NATO summit, which will be held in Washington, DC from July 9 to 11. He added that he was invited by United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Ednews reports.
Although the agenda for the summit has not been published yet, the Middle East crisis is certain to be one of the points of discussion. While several prominent NATO allies support Israel, including the US, the United Kingdom and Germany, Turkey is one of Israel's strongest critics, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regularly blasting the Israeli government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
