[QUOTE="Christianna B., post: 1591, member: 54"] A team of four countries: Israel, India, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States met as a group known together as the I2U2, to discuss securing food, energy, and political alliance in the Middle East and West Asia. Their first meeting was virtual in October of 2021 and recently met for the second time during President Biden's trip to the Middle East. The summit was held in a hotel in Jerusalem on Thursday, with President Biden and Isreal's caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, along with the leaders of the UAE and India participating virtually. According to the [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/world/middleeast/i2u2-india-israel-uae-us.html']New York Times[/URL], analysts say that I2U2 "bolsters the United States’ efforts to contain China’s influence in Asia and the Middle East, reassure Middle Eastern leaders of Washington’s commitment to the region and establish better ties between its allies in different parts of the world." China is not the sole focal point of the I2U2.
