The statement added that “Bahrain accepted President Trump’s invitation to join the United Arab Emirates and Israel in the historic signing ceremony on September 15, at the White House,” where Netanyahu and the UAE Foreign Minister United Abdullah bin Zayed will sign a “historic peace agreement”.
Netanyahu considered that the normalization agreement between Israel and Bahrain would represent a “new era of peace.” He said in a statement: “For many years we have been investing in peace, and now peace will invest in us and bring large investments to the Israeli economy, and this is very important.”
“It took us 26 years to conclude a third peace agreement with the Arab countries (the Emirates), but it did not take 26 years, but 29 days to reach a peace agreement with the fourth Arab country,” he added.
For its part, the Bahrain News Agency said Netanyahu and the Kingdom’s Foreign Minister Abdul Latif Al-Zayani will sign the normalization agreement on September 15. The agency quoted his country’s foreign affairs as saying that the president of the United States and the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa, agreed, during a phone call, to establish full diplomatic relations between Tel Aviv and Manama.
An adviser to the King of Bahrain said: “The announcement of the establishment of relations between the Kingdom and Israel is in the interests of the security, stability and prosperity of the region.”
Israeli radio said early Friday that Trump is putting pressure on Bahrain, and today he will announce his agreement to normalize relations with Israel.
On Tuesday, Trump will host a ceremony at the White House to sign the Israeli-Emirati “Abraham Agreement” that was announced on August 13, which Bahrain will join.
Hamas commented on the deal, saying that the normalization of Bahrain’s relations with Israel “is an insistence on implementing the terms of the Deal of the Century that solve the Palestinian problem.” Movement spokesman Hazem Qassem told Anadolu Agency: “These countries joining the path of normalization make them partners in the deal of the century, which constitutes aggression against our people.” He added: “This path certainly constitutes serious damage to the Palestinian cause and supports the occupation and the Zionist narrative.”
In context, the Israeli newspaper “Globus” said on Friday that the Palestinian Authority had rejected “imaginary” economic incentives offered by both the Emirates and Saudi Arabia in exchange for accepting normalization with Israel.
The newspaper noted that “in recent months secret negotiations have been carried out with the Emirates, with the participation and knowledge of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt, and of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh, with the aim of end Palestinian opposition to the establishment of relations and normalization with Israel. “
He added: “The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have promised to stop the process of applying Israeli sovereignty to the lands of the West Bank and, at the same time, to resume negotiations with Israel. Imagine that economic offers have also been made to the Palestinian political leadership. “.
He continued: “According to international diplomats supported by Saudi Arabia who participated in this step, Palestinian leaders have been offered huge investments in infrastructure, opening direct trade channels, selling oil and gas at extremely low prices, establishing advanced industrial zones and employing tens of thousands of Palestinian engineers and academics in the country. Gulf companies and others. “
