Dear Al,

thank you so much for the effort to create a joint workshop for the United States, Bahrain, and Israel. We all were looking forward for this unique opportunity to meet our friends from Bahrain and US in the region.

The current emergency situation in Israel has drawn our attention in away that doesn't allow us to put the attention to be prepared for such a professional and prestigious conference.

Hence' as are very eager to meet our colleagues we will be happy to meet at a convenient time.

please send our colleagues from Bahrain, my best wishes and our hope to meet soon

Thank you

Kobi

Dear Colleagues from Bahrain and Israel ,

I want to thank you all for supporting the Humanitarian Operations Workshop (HOW).

Captain Rashid Al Absi from the Bahrain Ministry of Interior (MOI) has informed us that they will assist in obtaining visas for Israeli participants, but they need to do it in the next four days. Captain Rashid can also answer any questions concerning security for the event.

Thank you again, -Al Gembara
