“The Abraham Accords were the fruit of both vision and power. The vision and power of states and national leaders. The growing partnership between our countries is a model for the whole Middle East, and I hope that other states in our region will be inspired by your example.”

—Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the New Ambassador of Bahrain, H.E. Mr. Khaled Yusuf Al Jalahma, on September 14, 2021

Featuring former Miss Iraq, Sarah Idan
