By itself - not really, except for the desert flowers after flash-rains a few times each winter. But with the Israeli innovation of drip irrigation, plus the usage of climate-controlled greenhouses and/or shade-canopies, the answer is yes. The only limitations on these methods are the costs of setting up the infrastructure, labor etc. Not all crops are financially worthwhile to grow there. Also, only a limited range of crops can relatively easily grow in the Negev due to the dryness and high temperatures. Climate-control can only go so far before its costs become prohibitive.
