Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited to participate in an Iran-focused conference in Poland, according to Israeli media.

Israeli Channel 10 said Netanyahu received an invitation two weeks ago to attend the meeting, but he has not announced whether he is going to participate.

Arab foreign ministers have also been invited to attend the summit.

Earlier Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. and Poland will jointly host the Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Security in the Middle East in Warsaw from Feb. 13-14 with a focus on Iran.

The summit was denounced by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

"Polish Gov't can't wash the shame: while Iran saved Poles in WWII, it now hosts desperate anti-Iran circus,” Zarif said on Twitter.

"Reminder to host/participants of anti-Iran conference: those who attended last US anti-Iran show are either dead, disgraced, or marginalized. And Iran is stronger than ever,” he said.
