In 2011, amid [[2011–2012 Bahraini uprising|Arab spring uprising]], Wikileaks cables published on ''[[Haaretz]]'' revealed some of the hidden relations between Bahraini and Israeli officials. In a meeting with the U.S. ambassador in February 2005, Bahrain's [[King of Bahrain|king]], [[Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa]] had bragged about having contact with Israel's national intelligence agency, [[Mossad]]. He indicated that Bahrain is ready to develop relations in other fields as well. The king reportedly gave orders that official statements don't use phrases such as "enemy" and "Zionist entity" when referring to Israel anymore. However, he refused the idea of having trade relations, saying it was "too early" and would be postponed until the establishment of an independent Palestine state.<ref name="Haaretz 8.4.2011">{{cite news | author=Yossi Melman | title = Haaretz Wikileaks exclusive / Bahrain King boasted of intelligence ties with Israel | date=8 April 2011 | work=Haaretz | url = http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/haaretz-wikileaks-exclusive-bahrain-king-boasted-of-intelligence-ties-with-israel-1.354728 | access-date=18 March 2012| author-link = Yossi Melman }}</ref>
