Officials of Bahrain on Friday arrived in Israel to take five Bahraini nationals back to the kingdom after they were detained by the Israeli Navy following its raid against the Free Gaza Movement ship earlier this week. The visit was the first of its kind. Both Israel and Bahrain said that it does not hold any diplomatic significance. 

The Bahraini delegation was officially dispatched by the Bahraini Foreign Ministry.
