Jewish and Pro-Israel Groups Welcome Israel-Bahrain Normalization Agreement

(JNS) Jackson Richman - Jewish and pro-Israel groups instantly applauded Israel and Bahrain for agreeing on Friday to normalize relations. At last, "the walls of isolation around Israel are crumbling," Malcolm Hoenlein of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations told JNS. Jewish groups from both sides of the political aisle applauded the development. American Sephardi Federation executive director Jason Guberman said the Emirati and Bahraini normalization deals with Israel exemplify "a new era, but one rooted in history. Muslims and Jews, as in centuries past, will once again be able to channel their considerable talents and resources into projects that will benefit all of humanity." "For the Greater Sephardic community, these developments are at once historic and personal in ways that may be difficult for others to understand. With shared roots in the region and [those] who have in recent memory experienced the trauma of exile, it is deeply moving to see one Arab country after another welcome them, in freedom and friendship, to be fully Jewish."
