Israel and Bahrain Establish Diplomatic Relations

 The dispute between Israel and Palestinians has caused most Arab states in the Middle East to boycott the establishment of official relations with Israel. However, today, the U.S. brokered a deal between Israel and Bahrain--which will be the fourth country to now recognize Israel behind the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan. 

The two countries have now established full diplomatic relations and are expected to open embassies. The foreign minister of Bahrain said that he hopes for "fruitful bilateral co-operation in every field," and called for peace in the region.
