The Israeli Cabinet yesterday voted unanimously to ratify the joint agreement on the establishment of diplomatic, peaceful and friendly relations with the Kingdom of Bahrain, concluding a normalisation process that the two countries began roughly two months ago.
“The establishment of peace and normalisation with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Sudan constitute a major achievement for the State of Israel,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the weekly Cabinet meeting, minutes before the vote.
“This is the result of a long effort we have led for years, an effort to expand the circle of peace, an effort to bring true peace, an effort to bring peace for peace.”
The Prime Minister thanked US President Donald Trump, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, “and all those who openly and secretly assisted in the realisation of these historic steps.”
The Bahraini government ratified the agreement several weeks ago.
