RIYADH: Bahrain has recalled its ambassador to Israel and suspended economic ties with Tel Aviv, the country’s parliament announced on Thursday.
The statement published on the Bahraini parliament website confirmed that the Israeli ambassador had left Bahrain, while Bahrain called back its ambassador from Israel and decided to suspend all economic relations with Israel.
It added that its decision to recall its envoy and suspend economic relations is based on the kingdom’s “solid and historical stance that supports the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”
The parliament statement continued: “The Council of Representatives affirms that the Israeli ambassador in the kingdom of Bahrain has left Bahrain and the kingdom of Bahrain has decided on the return of the Bahrain ambassador to Israel. The cessation of economic relations was also decided.
“The Council affirms that the continuation of war and military operations, and the continuing Israeli escalation in light of the lack of respect for international humanitarian law, prompts the Council to demand more decisions and measures that preserve the lives of innocent people and civilians in Gaza and all Palestinian areas.”
Bahrain’s National Communication Center confirmed the move and said that the “priority of efforts at this stage must be focused on protecting the lives of civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law and working to secure urgent humanitarian corridors to deliver relief and medical aid to the Gaza Strip.”
It added that there is a “need to spare the region from the consequences of a new cycle of violence and work to find a clear political horizon for a just, comprehensive, and sustainable peace that guarantees stability and security for all.”
Any words about Hamas murdering over a thousand, launching thousands of rockets towards cities in there? No? Okay.
Wut?
Your comment just shouts “Pro-Israel, pro genocide and pro bomb Gaza”.
If you want to talk about murdering. Let’s talk about the years from 1948 up to 2023.
The years were Israel stole land, oppress Palestinians and murder men, women and children of Palestinian people.
Then somewhere in 1987 Hamas was created to fight for Palestinians lives and rights. Due to the way Hamas went, Israel could easily call Hamas “terrorist” while also truly knowing that they themselves (Israel) - are not any better.
Israel is doing pretty much what Nazis did. Genocide. But for some reason this time, the world is just watching, staring and letting it happen.
Oh anyway, just wanted to congratulate you. You’re another person on my block list! Welcome to the list.
