Bahrain is perceived as less attractive to Israel than Dubai but it turns out that economic relations with the island nation in the Gulf are already expanding.
The Israeli ambassador to Manama, the capital of Bahrain, Eitan Na'a, said in an interview with the local newspaper Al-Ayyam that Israel had begun importing aluminum from the small Gulf state. Bahrain Aluminum (Alba) is considered one of the largest aluminum producers in the region. He estimated that aluminum exports from Israel to Israel would skyrocket in the future.
Naa added that Elal direct flights on the Manama - Tel Aviv route will soon begin. The ambassador also noted that Israel wants students from Bahrain to study at academic institutions in Israel.
