🤝 Diplomatic Relations Since the Abraham Accords
Bahrain and Israel formally established diplomatic ties in September 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords, which also included the UAE, Morocco, and Sudan.
Despite this normalization, Bahrain has consistently voiced its commitment to the Palestinian cause, advocating for peaceful resolutions aligned with international law and human rights principles.
