Bahrain’s cabinet approves the agreement about the establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel the countries signed yesterday in Manama.
During a weekly cabinet session hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, the ministers were updated about the eight agreements signed with Israel.
“The Cabinet welcomed the agreements and memoranda of understanding signed between Bahrain and Israel, noting that they are based on the vision of the Kingdom, under the leadership of HM the King, for peace as a strategic option to advance the peace and stability process in the Middle East,” according to the Bahrain News Agency.
“They are also aimed at promoting tolerance, coexistence and openness to religions and cultures to establish broader relations for the benefit of the region’s countries and peoples in order to enhance the efforts to resolve the Palestinian issue in accordance with the two-state solution, international legitimacy resolutions, and the Arab Peace Initiative, the cabinet said.”
