The first commercial flight between Bahrain and Israel lands at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, a year after the US-brokered normalization of ties.
Gulf Air flight GF972 touches down at Israel’s main airport shortly after Foreign Minister Yair Lapid begins a landmark visit to Manama, where he will open the Israeli embassy in the Bahraini capital.
