The Jewish Insider -- Sheikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Bahrain’s national security advisor, said his country remains committed to the Abraham Accords despite regional backlash toward Israel and is “proud” to be part of U.S. and Israeli cooperative military efforts.

Asked at the Aspen Security Forum why his country remains committed to the Abraham Accords despite intense anger in the Arab world over Israel’s operations in Gaza, Al Khalifa described the normalization agreement as “one of the most important milestones that we have achieved.”

“This is why we should always keep an open door and channel with the Israelis,” he continued, adding later that the Abraham Accords have had many positive impacts for Bahrain and encouraging other countries in the region to join.
