Discussing the normalisation of Bahrain-Israel relations, Bahrain’s interior minister asserted that “the regional situation makes us deal with ongoing threats for the past years, in which most of them were deterred. It isn’t wise to see the threat and wait for it to reach us if we can in any way avoid it… our old and modern strategy is based on strong allies to confront potential threats”. He further noted: “Iran has chosen to behave in a dominating way in several forms and has become a constant danger that harms our internal security”.
