Bahrain and Israel: UK responds to announcement of normalisation
The Foreign Secretary has issued a statement on the announcement of the normalisation of relations between Bahrain and Israel.

I warmly welcome this important agreement normalising relations between Bahrain and Israel. Full diplomatic relations between two of the UK’s friends is excellent news.
