Description:
This video shows the Saudi and Bahraini foreign ministers silently dodging Arab reporters after leaving a summit that publicly brought together senior officials from these two Gulf states and an Israeli Prime Minister for the first time ever.
Many are seeing this meeting as another major step by certain Arab and Israeli leaders to achieve a normalisation of ties between each other, in what they say is a strategy to confront the growing danger posed to them by Iran in the region.
The two-day US-organised Warsaw conference on “peace and security” in the Middle East was held in the Polish capital between 13-14 February.
