US President Trump announces peace deal between Israel and Bahrain
US President Trump has announced that the Gulf state of Bahrain and Israel have agreed to normalize relations.
"In 30 days, another Arab country has made peace with Israel," he tweeted.
For decades, Arab states have boycotted Israel and kept it a secret that they can only establish relations with Israel once the Palestinian issue is resolved.
But last month, the UAE made a peace deal with Israel, making it the first Gulf country to make peace with Israel. Ever since then, there has been speculation that Bahrain will do the same.
President Trump has acted as a mediator in both agreements.
Bahrain is the fourth Arab country to recognize Israel since Israel came into being in 1948. Egypt and Jordan were on the list before the UAE and Bahrain.
"Today is another historic milestone," said President Trump. Two of our great friends, Israel and Bahrain, have agreed to a peace deal.
President Trump also shared a copy of the joint statement from the United States, Bahrain and Israel on his Twitter account.
