Bahrain and Oman are expected to follow UAE’s suit in formalising ties with Israel

Bahrain and Oman could be the next Gulf countries to follow the United Arab Emirates foot steps in formalising ties with Israel, according to Israel’s intelligence minister.

“In the wake of this agreement (with the UAE) will come additional agreements, both with more Gulf countries and with Muslim countries in Africa,” Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen told Army Radio.

“I think that Bahrain and Oman are definitely on the agenda. In addition, in my assessment, there is a chance that already in the coming year there will be a peace deal with additional countries in Africa, chief among them, Sudan,” he said.
