President Reuven Rivlin meets with Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani.
“The world is full of hate. The world is full of war. But I’m so very proud and I’m so very honored and yes even excited… that our two nations have shown the world that there is also a time for peace,” Rivlin says. “The whole world should come and see the flags of Israel and Bahrain flying together today.”
He says: “This is a new era of friendship, of cooperation, of partnership.”
He also says he wants to “make clear” to Palestinians that Israel desires peace. “President Abbas, we want to live in peace,” he says, in reference to the Palestinian Authority leader.
