Bahrain

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Prime Minister Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa in Manama, capital of Bahrain, on Tuesday to discuss ways to build a more stable Middle East region.

This is the first official visit by the Israeli Prime Minister to Bahrain. Reportedly, Bennett told the king, “I think we discussed many ways to build new bridges and architecture for a stable region.” Bennett expects to continue the relationship with Bahrain. He said, “We will stand together to fight against common challenges.” He added, “I think our goal is to turn this peace from a peace between governments to a peace between people.”

Bennett was welcomed by Bahrain's foreign and industry ministers, the Israeli ambassador to Bahrain, and other high-ranking officials. He was also given a guard of honour by Bahrain. He was also given a grand welcome when he arrived at the crown prince's office.

The military band played "Hatikvah" to welcome him. "Hatikvah" is the national anthem of Israel. Reportedly, the Crown Prince said that all responsible nations must make an effort to achieve peace in the Middle East region.  According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, Bennett’s conversation with the Crown Prince and the King extended beyond the allotted time.

Reportedly, Bahrain normalised ties with Israel in 2020 as part of the Abraham Accords, a series of agreements between Israel and Arab states backed by Washington.

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken also appreciated Bennett’s visit to Bahrain. Blinken said this was an important step towards a better future. Blinken wrote on Twitter, “This week's visit by Israeli PM to Bahrain was another important step towards a better tomorrow for the Middle East region. We welcome the momentous visit and look forward to building new partnerships together.”

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false.

"We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
