An-Najah News - Bahrain’s declaration on normalizing its diplomatic relations with the occupying state of Israel prioritizes the short-term interests over the strategic issues.

Shtayyeh said“Dealing such a blow to the Arab backbone and the joint Arab action is nothing but a service to the colonial state of Israel".

 He said the normalization deal, which follows the footsteps of the UAE, legitimizes the occupation, settlements and the Israeli aggression against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and comes at the expense of the aspirations of the Palestinian rights.
"While we are open to the world and to any real international effort to end the occupation, establish the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and resolve the refugee issue in accordance with international resolutions, our steadfastness and resistance against the occupation and the attempts to eradicate our people and our cause are boundless.”

Shtayyeh praised the free Bahraini voices opposing the normalization deal with the Israeli occupation".
