On Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister (FM) Yair Lapid arrived in Bahrain's capital Manama, on a landmark visit to take part in the inauguration of the Israeli embassy there.

“We landed in Bahrain. Proud to represent Israel on the first and historic official visit to the Kingdom. Thanks for the warm welcome," Lapid tweeted upon his arrival.

Moreover, Lapid is set to hold talks with his Bahraini counterpart Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani.

It is worth mentioning that, last year, UAE became the first Arab nation to normalize relations with Israel since Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994, followed by Bahrain.
