Israel and the Gulf state of Bahrain have reached a landmark deal to fully normalise their relations, US President Donald Trump has announced.
"The second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days," he tweeted.
For decades, most Arab states have boycotted Israel, insisting they would only establish ties after the Palestinian dispute was settled.
But last month the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to normalise its relationship with Israel.
There had been much speculation that Bahrain might follow suit.
Mr Trump, who presented his Middle East peace plan in January aimed at resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict, helped broker both accords.Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was "excited" that "another peace agreement" had been reached with another Arab country on Friday.
"This is a new era of peace. Peace for peace. Economy for economy. We have invested in peace for many years and now peace will invest in us," he said.
Bahrain is only the fourth Arab country in the Middle East - after the UAE, Egypt and Jordan - to recognise Israel since its founding in 1948.
"Another historic breakthrough today!" Mr Trump wrote on Twitter, adding: "Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal."
The president also posted on Twitter a copy of a joint statement between the three leaders - Mr Trump, Mr Netanyahu and Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa.
"This is a historic breakthrough to further peace in the Middle East" that will "increase stability, security, and prosperity in the region", the statement reads.
Prior to the announcement of the UAE agreement in August - which included the suspension of Israel's controversial plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank - Israel had had no diplomatic relations with Gulf Arab countries.
More recently, shared worries over Iran have led to unofficial contacts between them.
Last month saw the first official flight from Israel to the UAE, which was seen as a major step in normalising relations.
President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, who was on the plane, described the UAE deal as having "the ability Bahrain last week said it would allow flights between Israel and the UAE to use its airspace.
Mr Trump is due to host a ceremony in Washington next Tuesday for the official signing of the Israel-UAE agreement.
In 1999, Mauritania, a member of the Arab League in north-west Africa, established diplomatic relations with Israel - but severed ties in 2010. change the whole course of the Middle East". Bahrain last week said it would allow flights between Israel and the UAE to use its airspace.

Good. But When will Trump make peace between American police(who are fond of killing Blacks like chickens) and Blacks/minorities in America? When will he become a unifier of his own American people? Charity is supposed to begin in his backyard. Just saying o.

Abeg shut up. What problem did Israel have with Bahrain before?

Israel has always been at peace with these tiny, weak, pro-US, oil-rich gulf states like Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE etc. These are just Trump's buddies whom he's using for propaganda purposes.

The real issues there are between Israel and the Palestinians, and Israel v Iran, where he's proven to be even more inept, biased, and corrupt than all the other US leaders before him.

Commendable

You're a tribe of peace.

That's why you fought a war with sticks and stones.

Use your head. Trump is a desperate opportunist, trying to hang on to power. These propaganda 'peace deals' could well be a prelude to an unprovoked strike on Iran, to create utter chaos in the middle east, raise nationalism in the US, and get a consequent swing in his favour at the polls.

THINK.

Trump is an extremely self-centred, ignorant person, and anything he does is for his own interest.

Self defense my dear!

I know you would have preferred we closed our arms and be exterminated from the face of the earth.

But sorry we disappointed you and we will do it a million times if we have to.

No!

The rest of the Middle East have seen a common enemy in Iran. That's why the peace deal with Israel has become inevitable.

You must be pained things aren't going according to plan for you Joe Biden apologists.
