Bahrain authorities told White House Adviser Jared Kouchner that stability in the Gulf region is based on Saudi Arabia, state news agency BNA said.
Kouchner is visiting Gulf countries following an August 13th agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel to normalise relations.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain's close ally, has said its price for normalising relations with Israel is the establishment of a Palestinian sovereign state with Jerusalem as the capital.
White House adviser Jared Kouchner hopes that within months another Arab country will normalise reports with Israel.
He made these comments Monday after arriving in the United Arab Emirates accompanied by Israeli officials on the first commercial flight between the two countries.
No other Arab state has so far said it is thinking to act like the United Arab Emirates, which agreed to normalise ties with Israel under a US-brokered agreement.
Egypt and Jordan have reached peace agreements with Irzael decades ago, but other Arab states have long taken the stance that Israel must accept to provide more Palestinians with a state of their own before normalising ties with it.
Israel and the United States have said they are pushing more Arab countries to follow the path of the United Arab Emirates.
Israeli intelligence minister has mentioned Bahrain and Oman.
