Other countries were UAE and Egypt. Forces from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE have been assisting Bahraini authorities in crushing the majority Shia opposition. Bahrain alleges Iran for its support to the opposition parties.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia<\/a>, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt were on the same page with Israel as far as their animosity with is Iran is concerned. Most of the GCC countries consider Iran as a threat to their security.<\/p>\n

On December 6, US President Donald Trump <\/a>had recognised Jerusalem as Israeli capital and ordered to start process of shifting their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

The Arab League, Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) and most of the governments of the world have criticised Trump for his Jerusalem move while world-wide protest demonstrations were continuing.<\/p>\n

The Bahrain foreign minister\u2019s tweet was posted in English language meant for the outside world. A \u00a0Bahraini delegation\u00a0has also visited Israel after Trump’s announcement.<\/p>\n

In September, Bahrain’s King\u00a0Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa had reportedly talked about Manama\u2019s intention for normalising relations with Israel.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
