Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met Nov. 2 in Glasgow with Bahraini Prime Minister Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference. Speaking in front of cameras at the beginning of the meeting, Bennett said, "I believe that everything we see from Bahrain sends such a warm message of friendship," adding, "We ain't seen nothing yet."
While the two men shook hands and exchanged some words in front of the cameras, neither Bennett nor Khalifa tweeted about the meeting itself, and no details of the issues discussed between the leaders were revealed to the media. A few hours after the meeting, an unnamed Israeli official said the Bahraini leader accepted Bennett's invitation to hold a visit in Israel, which would most likely take place in early 2022. This information was not confirmed officially for the time being.
