Bahrain has refused Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's offer to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed al-Khalifa said Monday.
According to the Jordanian Petra news agency, Khalifa said that he asked Livni to wait until after the Annapolis peace parley before considering relations.
A week ago, Khalifa met with Livni in New York, a move that caused a stir in his country.
