Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
The Bahraini House of Representatives, which deals with legislative matters, releases the announcement about Manama recalling Ambassador Khaled Al-Jalahma from Israel.
The fact that is didn’t come from the Foreign Ministry itself likely indicates that the move is more to calm the Bahraini public that a sign of a real sea change in relations.
Israel says that it did not receive any “announcement or decision from the Bahraini government to recall the countries’ ambassadors.”
“Israel-Bahrain relations are stable,” says the Foreign Ministry in an official statement.
