ISTANBUL (AA) - Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa on Tuesday and discussed ways to strengthen ties and cooperation between their countries.

The Bahraini official news agency said the meeting at the Guddaibiya Palace in the capital, Manama, reviewed important international and regional issues of common interest.

The Bahraini Crown Prince also highlighted his country's commitment, along with its allies, to regional peace and stability.

Bennett arrived Monday in Bahrain on his first-ever visit to the Gulf nation.

Bahrain is among four Arab countries that signed US-sponsored agreements to normalize relations with Israel in 2020.
