Bahrain and Israel to open embassies to complete normalization

An Israeli official said from the Bahraini capital, Al-Manamah, that Israel and Bahrain would be able to open two embassies just after signing a mutual declaration as a starting point for '' overall diplomatic relations''.

Earlier, an Israeli website had said that Bahrain and Israel would sign, on Sunday 18th, via American mediation, to set overall diplomatic relations and opening embassies, in a meeting between the two sides in the Bahraini capital, Al-Manamah.  

To this, the Bahraini King Hamad Bin Isaa Aal Khalifa, in a speech in the United Nations General Assembly earlier had said:'' based upon our eagerness on the regions' security and stability, and in embodiment of our deep-rooted approach of openness and coexistence, it's been declared to set relations with Israel, in a civilized message that asserts that we are ready for a just and a comprehensive peace as the best guarantee for the future of all peoples of the region.     

Bahrain and the UAE had earlier signed with Israel a peace agreement formally on September 15th, in the American capital Washington, with the presence of U.S. president Donald Trump.
