My husband and I are looking at doing a BAH/DOH trip soon. In doing a little research I noticed on
this site that Bahrain won't allow admission to those with Israeli stamps.
Presumably if you stay on the plane it won't matter, but you might ask the Dept of State about getting a second passport to be on the safe side, or consider early renewal of your current passport.
