President Donald Trump announced that Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain have agreed to the “establishment of full diplomatic relations,” in a joint statement tweeted out by the President on Friday.
The announcement comes after a similar deal was announced between the United Arab Emirates and Israel last month. Bahrain’s foreign minister will join Israel and the UAE for a signing ceremony currently scheduled for next week, according to the statement from Trump.
“Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal — the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!,” Trump tweeted.
