He added, “They saw this epidemic as an opportunity for cooperation between them and Israel.”

Quoting Shneire and director of the International Department at the Sheba Hospital, Dr. Yoel Raban, the newspaper added that Bahrain and another country in the Gulf showed their interest in “medical innovations and ways of Israel to respond to the spread of the epidemic.” Besides many Israeli sides.

Rabban described one of the countries that headed to Israel as “central and different” in an indication that it is larger than the mentioned countries, and that it is “not a country we are used to hearing about” and stressed that “there are many things going on above and below the surface of the earth.”
