DUBAI – Bahrain may have won international praise for following in the United Arab Emirates’ footsteps and establishing ties with Israel, but the dramatic move by the close US ally could stir a new wave of opposition at home.
Low-level dissent has continued, periodically flaring into rock-throwing skirmishes and crude bomb and shooting attacks, putting the kingdom on the frontline of a region-wide tussle for influence between Iran and its Sunni rival Saudi Arabia. “The historic diversity of Bahrain has shaped a society that embraces coexistence and tolerance. These principles are vital to securing lasting regional stability and peace, and underpin the declaration of peace signed by the Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of Israel,” the spokesman said in a statement to Reuters.Speaking largely from abroad, opposition figures rejected the deal. Bahrain’s top Shia cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim called, from exile in Iran, for the region’s people to resist.
“The move will garner Bahrain some credit in Washington, which could reduce the already limited pressure Manama faces on its domestic policies from the US,” said Graham Griffiths, associate direct at Control Risks. “Bahrain is squarely focused on its critical ties with the United States and with its Gulf allies in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. These political dependencies condition immediate Bahraini alignment with the leadership in Abu Dhabi and Washington on this critical issue,” said Kristin Smith Diwan of the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.
