    Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid met in the Knesset today (Thursday, 2 September 2021) with Bahrain's first Ambassador to Israel, Khaled Yousef al-Jalahmah, who presented him with a copy of his diplomatic credentials. 

    FM Lapid congratulated the ambassador on his arrival, and for the expected opening of the Bahraini embassy in Israel. Together they discussed the strengthening of ties between the two countries and peoples.

    FM Lapid: "The opening of the Kingdom of Bahrain's embassy in Israel is another step towards true peace in the Middle East. Many countries in the region see the strong ties that are being forged between us and the Bahrainis, as well as the brave decision made by the King of Bahrain, His Majesty Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, to establish peace with Israel. In the future, other countries that are changing the face of the Middle East will too join the circle of peace.”
