Bahrain is going to normalise relations with Israel, the diplomatic correspondent for Israel’s public broadcaster Kan said in a tweet on Friday, without citing sources.

Another Israeli reporter, Raphael Ahren of the Times of Israel, said US President Donald Trump would on Friday announce that Bahrain is joining the United Arab Emirates in formally establishing ties with Israel, reports Reuters.

The White House had no immediate comment. Trump will on Tuesday host a White House ceremony solemnising the Israel-UAE deal, which was announced on August 13.

The Kan reporter, Amichai Stein, said Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa would be in Washington on Monday.
