The authorities of Bahrain have recalled the Ambassador to Israel and decided to suspend economic relations with Tel-Aviv in a show of support for the Palestinian people amid Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, the Council of Representatives of the Kingdom said.
"The Council of Representatives acknowledges that the Ambassador of Israel to Bahrain has left the Kingdom and Bahrain made the decision to return the Kingdom’s Ambassador to Israel back to the country. Economic relations with Israel are also suspended," the Council said in the statement posted on its website.
This decision "is the confirmation of the historical and firm position of Bahrain to support the Palestinian issue and lawful rights of the fraternal Palestine nation," the legislative body noted. The Council of Representatives of Bahrain has to demand taking measures to preserve lives of innocent people in the Gaza Streip and other Palestine regions in view of "continued war and military operations and continuing Israeli aggression in light of the non-observance of international humanitarian law," it added.
