JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid will visit Bahrain on Thursday to inaugurate the Israeli Embassy in Manama.
"Invited by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid will arrive in Bahrain on Thursday on the first official visit of an Israeli minister," the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said Lapid “will inaugurate the Israeli Embassy in Manama, and sign a series of bilateral agreements."
