One day following the historic visit of Foreign Minister Yair Lapid to Bahrain to inaugurate the new Israeli Embassy, anti-Israel protests broke out around the country.
Lapid’s visit came one year after the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel and four regional nations: United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. The agreement normalized ties between Israel and the four nations.

Bahraini police forces fired tear gas at protesters in one demonstration.
