From Netanyahu’s trip to Bahrain postponed at Manama’s request — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe prime minister’s planned trip to Bahrain next week has been postponed at the request of Manama, Walla news reports, citing Israeli officials.
The website says Benjamin Netanyahu had been set to visit both Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. However, the UAE asked to delay the trip to later in the month due to scheduling issues.
After learning of this, Bahrain asked to keep Netanyahu’s visit adjacent to his trip to the UAE, leading to its postponement as well.
This has also led Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi to cancel a planned trip, as Bahraini protocol says a head of state or government has to visit before a foreign minister can.
