Israeli PM Meets Bahrain's Crown Prince in First-of-Its-Kind Visit
------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett traveled to Bahrain Monday,
becoming the first Israeli head of government ever to visit the Gulf
kingdom. Bennett met earlier today with his counterpart, Prince Salman
bin Hamad al-Khalifa. Bahrain is widely seen as a proxy for Saudi
Arabia, a country with which Israel has no formal diplomatic ties.
