Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Thursday announced that he had met his Bahrain counterpart publicly during a visit to Washington, the first meeting between the two countries that do not have diplomatic relations.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Bahrain's hosting of the economic workshop on the so-called "Deal of the Century" came at a Saudi request, since the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman does not dare to hold the workshop in Riyadh or Jeddah.

Bahrain's Alosra supermarket chain justified its supply and sale of Israeli products by saying it was by mistake and by an individual act.

The Bahraini Society against Normalization with Zionist Enemy said that a Bahraini shop is selling Israeli settlements products.

Trump said that there would never be an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement if one is not negotiated during his presidency. He also opined that there is a “very good chance” his proposal for solving the decades-long conflict could succeed.

Bahrain's foreign minister has said Israel is part of the region's heritage and the Jewish people have "a place amongst us" in a rare interview of an Arab official by an Israeli journalist.

A U.S.-led conference in Bahrain designed to drum up investment in the Palestinian economy and pave a path to peace with Israel has gone largely unremarked by Israelis preoccupied with a political crisis and their arch-foe Iran.

A day after the Trump administration wrapped up an international conference meant to lay the economic foundations for Israeli-Palestinian peace, the Palestinian premier said it was "divorced from reality" and unlikely to evolve into a political plan.

The Trump administration organized an economic workshop in Bahrain on June 25 and 26, purportedly aimed at resolving the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Under the title "Peace to Prosperity", the White house seeks to undermine Palestine, its people, and rights.
