"We repeated the principles of the Abraham Accords and talked about how we are quickly adding content to the agreements between Bahrain and Israel and turning this peace [into] economic peace, technological peace, tourism peace, peace in every one of these areas, and you will hear about practical steps very soon," he said in a statement.
Sources privy to the call said that the two also discussed the Iranian threat that in the case of Bahrain is existential.
Tehran is funding local pro-Iranian militias in an attempt to get extremists in the country's Shiite majority to revolt against the Sunni monarchy and turn Bahrain into an Iranian proxy.
Meanwhile, Israeli diplomats around the world have been meeting with their Emirati and Bahraini counterparts.
