Bahrain will tightly control pro-Palestinian activity
Wednesday, May 15, 2024
Significance
It is also the first summit that Bahrain has hosted since signing the US-sponsored Abraham Accords in 2020 establishing diplomatic ties with Israel.
Impacts
- Despite public pronouncements, Bahrain's commitment to the Abraham Accords will be absolute.
- Public opposition to the Abraham Accords will grow, severely limiting the prospect of improved people-to-people ties.
- Public calls to boycott Bahraini companies working with Israeli firms will increase.
