It was a rare call for Arab countries to create a broad grouping alongside Israel and Iran. Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab nations that have peace deals with Israel and have diplomatic relations with the Jewish state. Other Arab nations have said they won't establish ties with Israel until it signs peace deals with the Palestinians and Syria.In case you missed this, Bahrain also recently appointed a Jewish female as US Ambassador.
Ambassador Huda Nunu, is a member of a small Arab Jewish community that numbers only 37 people. What makes this appointment even more remarkable is that the appointment was made by a conservative Muslim Arab state in the most conservative Muslim region of the world.
"Bahrain dismissed on Sunday, June 8, criticism over naming a Jewish woman as its new ambassador to the United States, stressing that the envoy is as much Bahraini as any other citizen of the small Gulf kingdom. "Regardless of religion, first and foremost she is Bahraini, just as her father was, just as her grandfather was," Foreign Minister Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed al-Khalifa told a press conference."Now, if only the ONLY democratic country in the Middle East, America's best friend Israel, could be so democratic.
"A Bahraini paper points out and condemns US and UNSC double-standard policies on Iran's nuclear activities and the Israeli atrocities in Gaza."
"Bahrain's parliament has passed a law banning any interaction with the Israeli government. Violators of this law will face prison time and fines."
