U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday welcomed Bahrain’s and Israel’s commitments to open embassies, establish online visa systems, and launch weekly flights between the countries soon, in broadened cooperation on the basis of the Abraham Accords brokered by the Trump administration.

The accords’ goal is to advance prosperity and counter Iran’s destabilizing activity in the region.
