BahrainI No-Show for Strategic Middle East Summit at Camp David

13.05.2015
Bahrain's King Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa has skipped a Gulf Arab summit with U.S. President Barack Obama.
Like Saudi Arabia's King Salman, King Hamad has decided to send his crown prince to the United States in his stead, in a perceived snub over Obama's drive to reach a nuclear deal with Iran, the arch-rival of America's traditional Gulf Arab allies.
A Bahraini Spokesman added that Bahrain's King still seeks to "further bolster friendly relations" between Bahrain and the U.S.
The no-shows have reduced the prestige of the May 13-14 gathering and may undercut its ability to resolve U.S.-Gulf rifts over how to deal with Iran and wars in the region.
