Possible update for recognition September 2020
Based on press accounts concerning possible normalization on September 11, 2020 (https://www.timesofisrael.com/bahrain-to-establish-full-diplomatic-relations-with-israel-trump-announces/#gs.fven4y), an update may be needed.One-Off Contributor (talk) 17:24, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I removed the passage that said, "Bahrain has said Israeli air travel to and from the United Arab Emirates can fly over its skies. ... The decision reduces the flying time between the UAE and Israel by several hours." This was cited to this Al Jazeera article. While the article does indeed say, "'Bahrain will allow all flights coming to and departing from the United Arab Emirates to all countries to cross its airspace,' reported the official Bahrain News Agency, citing an official source at the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications. The decision cuts flying time between the Middle East states by several hours", that doesn't make sense geographically. It was the fact that Saudi Arabia is allowing overflights by Israel-UAE flights that cuts the flying time by several hours, because Saudi Arabia is a much bigger country than Bahrain. If Israel-UAE flights had to avoid Saudi airspace, the flight paths would have to go around the Arabian Peninsula. If they only had to avoid Bahrain, that would have meant a much slighter detour. In any event, the normalization of relations between Israel and Bahrain a few days later basically supersedes the airspace permission anyway. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:01, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

ADD During an international security summit held in Manama, Bahrain, on the 17th of November 2023, Bahrain’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa said that he “unequivocally” condemns Hamas for the October 7 onslaught thus becoming the first Arab leader to publicly condemn Hamas.
