The US has invited foreign ministers from several Arab countries and Israel to the Nato 75th anniversary summit in Washington next month, Al Jazeera reports quoting The Financial Times.

Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are among the Arab invitees.

The US has also invited foreign ministers from more than 30 countries, including Japan, Australia and South Korea, partly in an effort to head off possible tensions over its invitation to Israel, according to The FT.

“Secretary-General Stoltenberg has invited heads of state and government of all 32 allies, plus the leaders of our Indo-Pacific partners,” The FT said, citing an unnamed Nato official.
