FM Cohen Urges Bahraini Crown Prince for Further Arab State Normalization

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with Bahrain's crown prince, expressing Israel's desire to normalize ties with more Arab countries and emphasizing the importance of economic and civil cooperation. Cohen also met with his Bahraini counterpart, discussing regional security issues and areas of cooperation. The visit comes as Bahrain postponed Cohen's arrival due to a visit by a far-right Israeli minister to a sensitive site in Jerusalem. Israel and Bahrain established diplomatic relations in 2020 as part of the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
