Herzog on Twitter also stated that he welcomed King Hamad’s vision of peace, friendship, and tolerance.
“The expanding circle of (Middle East) peace is highly important, especially amid threats to global and regional stability. In the face of hate, threats, and terror, there is one answer: alliances with friends.”

Following discussions pushed by the government of former US president Donald Trump, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco became the first Arab nations to establish normal ties with Israel in 2020.
