Bahrain is normalizing ties with Israel, Reuters reported, citing Israeli media.

According to the Times of Israel, US President Donald Trump will announce on Friday that Bahrain - along with the United Arab Emirates - will formally establish ties with Israel.

The Kan reporter, Amichai Stein tweeted that Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa will be in Washington on Monday.

An official ceremony of signing an agreement on the normalization of ties between Israel and the UAE will be held on September 15 at the White House.

The Trump administration has tried to persuade other Sunni Arab countries to mend relations with Israel. The most powerful of them - Saudi Arabia - made it clear that it was not ready.
