A joint U.S.-Israeli delegation will travel to Bahrain next week to work on finalizing the normalization agreement between Jerusalem and Manama.
According to Israeli officials, the trip was requested by Bahrain, which wanted a joint delegation to fly directly from Israel to the Gulf state, following a similar visit made to the United Arab Emirates last month.
The Israeli delegation is expected to be led by the directors general of the Foreign Ministry and Prime Minister’s Office, while the U.S. team will be headed by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Trump’s peace envoy Avi Berkowitz.
