The Bahraini Parliament announced, on Thursday, that the Israeli ambassador had left the Kingdom, in exchange for the return of its ambassador from Israel, in addition to the cessation of economic relations with it.

A statement to the Council stated that these steps come as “a confirmation of Bahraini’s established historical position in support of the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people,” which the King announced in all conferences and events.

The Bahraini House of Representatives affirmed that "the continuation of the 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 and souls of innocent people and civilians in Gaza and all Palestinian areas."

It is noteworthy that Bahrain normalized its relations with Israel within the Abraham Accords of 2020, which were brokered by the United States, and also included the UAE, Morocco, and Sudan.

According to the statement, the Speaker of the Bahraini House of Representatives expressed his pride in King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s “care and interest in supporting the Palestinian cause, a firm and unwavering position, and the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international resolutions.”
