Knesset approves normalization deal with Bahrain; Arab MKs oppose it
After a five-hour marathon session with more than 70 speeches, the Knesset approves Israel’s agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations with Bahrain with an overwhelming majority.
Sixty-two lawmakers vote in favor; 14 — all from the predominantly-Arab Joint List party — oppose the agreement. There are no abstentions.
The agreement will now head back to the cabinet, where it is expected to be ratified with unanimous support in the coming days.
— Raphael Ahren
