Bahrain–Israel peace agreement → Bahain-Israel normalization agreement – There isn't really many RS calling it a peace agreement (not including Trump himself), not to mention it isn't actually a peace agreement. In contrast, most RS are referring to it as the normalization of relations, not to mention that is the actual accurate title. See 1 "landmark deal to fully normalise their relations", 2 "announces deal between Bahrain, Israel to normalize relations", 3 "Bahrain has joined the United Arab Emirates in striking an agreement to normalize relations with Israel", 4 "Bahrain Will Normalize Relations With Israel", and 5 5 "Bahrain has become the latest Arab nation to agree to normalize ties with Israel" among what I am sure are many others. Changed to Bahain-Israel normalization agreement as per WP:CONCISE Zoozaz1 (talk) 18:35, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I agree with you that it is not a peace agreement or treaty because the two countries have not fought in the past.--Sakiv (talk) 18:36, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support: for the same reasons applicable to the UAE; it cannot be a peace agreement if there was never a state of conflict, and in fact Israel and Bahrain have had an undisclosed friendly relationship since at least Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres's visit in the 1990s. It is factually a normalization agreement, no matter what spin is put on it. --Telecart (talk) 19:53, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support: As others have said, it can't be a "peace agreement" if there was no prior state of conflict. Bahrain and many other Gulf states (including Saudi Arabia) already have a close back door relationship with Israel.--HadesTheEldest (talk) 20:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support: There was no state of war, declared or otherwise, to end, and so this cannot be a peace agreement. It's simply going from a state of no relation, to normal relations. Think of a new country, that starts to form relations with other nations - it might be "recognized", it might sign agreements regulating trade and diplomatic relations. But those would certainly not be peace agreements. okedem (talk) 23:31, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
