    President Donald Trump has announced that Bahrain will establish full diplomatic relations with Israel, following the United Arab Emirates, in another sign of shifting Middle East dynamics that are bringing Arab nations closer to Israel, isolating the Palestinians and positioning Trump as a campaign-season peacemaker.
    Trump announced the news on Twitter on Friday, releasing a joint statement with Bahrain and Israel and calling the move "a historic breakthrough to further peace in the Middle East".
