The world – the occupation
This came during a tripartite press conference between Netanyahu and Bahrain’s Foreign Ministers, Abdul Latif Al-Zayani, and American Mike Pompeo, in occupied Jerusalem.
Netanyahu said that Al-Zayani’s visit “marks another achievement on the road to peace between Israel and Bahrain, expressing his hope that there will be normalization agreements between” Israel “and other Arab countries.
Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates signed two agreements with the Israeli entity, in Washington in mid-September, to normalize relations.
Al-Zayani said he is “happy to be Bahrain’s first foreign minister to visit” Israel. “
He said he conveyed to “Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, during their meeting on Wednesday, the greetings of the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Khalifa, to” Israel “and its people,” as he himself put it.
He added: “We expect the start of air services between Israel and Bahrain, starting this year, and we will have 14 flights from Bahrain to Tel Aviv and 5 weekly cargo flights.”
He added that as of December 1, the electronic visa system will be implemented between the two countries, to allow “free travel,” and referred to the exchange of embassies between the two parties.
Bahrain and the UAE’s normalization of their relations with the Israeli entity was met with widespread popular Arab and Islamic rejection, and they emphasized that it is a betrayal of the Palestinian cause, especially in light of the continued Israeli occupation of Arab lands. .
The US Secretary of State said: “Your country welcomes the exchange of embassies between” Israel “and Bahrain, considering this to be an essential step for diplomatic relations.
Earlier today, Al-Zayani arrived in the occupied territories, on his first visit since the signing of the disagreement between the two parties.
Last September, the King of Bahrain described the normalization of his country’s relations with the Israeli entity as a “historic achievement”, ignoring the rights of the Palestinians who were stolen and the Israeli occupation placing his hand on Muslim sanctities, and his continued settlement construction and their occupation of Arab lands.
