The Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Bahraini Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa met today for the first time since the normalization of ties. The meeting came on the sidelines of the COP26 in Glasgow, an official Israeli statement said.

The agreement comes in the wake of normalization deals (so-called Abraham Accords) signed between “Israel” and Bahrain in September 2020.

Bahrainis fight normalization with the Israeli Occupation

Last month, protests broke out across Bahrain, rejecting normalization with "Israel."

Earlier, a Bahraini citizen burned clothes that he bought from the Manama market after he was surprised that they were made by the Israeli occupation.

Bahrainis have also launched a campaign expressing their anger against the visit, creating hashtags such as  #البحرين_ترفض_الصهاينة ( Bahrain rejects Zionists) and  #بحرينيون_ضد_التطبيع and (Bahrainis against normalization).

It is worth mentioning that the Israeli and Bahraini Prime Ministers met today for the first time since the normalization of ties, on the sidelines of the COP26 in Glasgow, an official Israeli statement said.
