Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleForeign Minister Yair Lapid announces that he will visit Bahrain tomorrow, in the first such visit by an Israeli minister to the Gulf country following a diplomatic agreement reached last year.
At the invitation of Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, Lapid will travel to Manama where the two will inaugurate the Israeli embassy and sign a series of bilateral agreements, the Israeli Foreign Ministry says in a statement.
Israel and Bahrain normalized relations last year as part of the Abraham Accords, which have led to the opening of embassies, the launch of direct flights and a raft of agreements to boost economic ties.
