Egypt, Jordan and Morocco are expected to attend the Bahrain economic summit on June 25-26 as part of the first part of the Trump administration’s long-awaited Mideast peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the White House confirmed on Tuesday.

“Morocco, Jordan and Egypt have told us that they are attending,” a senior White House official told The Times of Israel.

While Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said last month that they will attend the summit, the Palestinian Authority, Russia and China said they will boycott it.
