Bahrain repeals boycott of Israeli goods

By: Ali Al-Qadumi

MANAMA, Bahrain: Bahrain’s high-ranking official said Manama has revoked its economic boycott of Israel to comply with its free trade agreement with Washington.

Talking to independent Arabic newspaper Alwasat in an interview in New York on Friday, Bahraini foreign minister Sheikh Muhammad bin Mubarak Al-Khalifa said: "Bahrain took the decision to end the boycott of Israeli goods because this is one of the conditions of the free trade agreement" with the United States.

The minister did not say when the boycott was repealed.

The move makes Bahrain the first of the six Arab states of the Gulf to abolish its trade boycott of Israel, although others, such as Qatar and Oman, have taken limited steps in that direction.
