JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz arrived in Bahrain on Wednesday for an unannounced visit.
"This is the first visit of an Israeli defense minister to a Gulf country," reported the Israeli army's official radio station.
Bahrain is yet to issue a statement on Gantz's visit.
In 2020, Israel and Bahrain announced the full normalization of bilateral ties.
