In late October, the country’s government ratified the deal on the establishment of diplomatic relations and then agreed to submit it to the parliament for endorsement.

On 18 October, Bahrain and Israel signed the US-brokered Joint Communique on establishing diplomatic and peaceful relations, which was followed by a total of seven memorandums of understanding in various fields for mutually beneficial cooperation.
