According to an Arutz Sheva report, last week, "King Al-Khalifa and Bahraini Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa met in London with a group of expatriate Bahraini Jews who currently live in the United Kingdom. The meeting was highly unusual for an Arab monarch, although, in May of this year, King Al-Khalifa became the only Arab ruler to appoint a Jewish woman as an ambassador."
"This king loves Jews; therefore, he asked the Jews living in Bahrain to request Jews living in Israel to return," said Israeli immigration activist Natan Aloof. "I want to tell you there are very few Jews in Bahrain. They all work as traders, they are obligated to the King, and in the parliament this wise king chose from every group representatives in the parliament, even the Jews, who are a small minority."
