Another historic peace deal was announced on Friday: Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agreed to normalize relations between the country for the first time in 72 years.
The deal was brokered by President Donald Trump and was presented by him during a press conference at the Oval Office flanked by his staff.
According to a formal statement issued by the three countries, they agreed to “the establishment of full diplomatic relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
“This is a historic breakthrough to further peace in the Middle East. Opening direct dialogue and ties between these two dynamic societies and advanced economies will continue the positive transformation of the Middle East and increase stability, security, and prosperity in the region,” the statement said.
The leaders of Israel and Bahrain also praised Trump for “his dedication to peace in the region, his focus on shared challenges, and the pragmatic and unique approach he has taken to bringing their nations together.”
The deal comes after a similar deal between the United Aarab Emirates and Israel, also brokered by the U.S., last month, Fox News noted. It was followed by Kosovo recognizing Israel, and Serbia agreeing to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
