“We trust the leadership of Netanyahu,” Al Zayani said. He did not appear phased by Netanyahu’s efforts to form a far right-government with politicians who want to create a situation of de facto annexation in the West Bank and to allow Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount. Bahrain was one of four Arab nations that agreed to normalize ties with Israel in 2020 with the understanding that the Jewish state would suspend the annexation of West Bank settlements in exchange.
Manama trusts incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to preserve the peace with the Abraham Accords nations such as Bahrain, the country’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani told reporters on Sunday.
“I really look forward to working with Netanyahu’s government to further develop on the successful achievement that we have [accomplished] together to strengthen the peace and to work together to send the message of how the message of ensuring benefits of the peace can widen the circle of peace,” he said.
Al Zayani spoke during a visit to Bahrain by Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
