Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain is secretly holding talks with Israel in preparation for open relations between the two countries, Yedioth Ahronoth revealed yesterday.

The Israeli newspaper said that the talks come in the framework of normalising ties with the Arab states ahead of implementing the American plan, known as the "deal of the century", to end the conflict in the region.

On Saturday, Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khaled Bin Ahmad Al Khalifa said that he "wishes success for the efforts being exerted by the Omani Sultan Qaboos Bin Said aimed at reviving the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians."
