Bahrain has reiterated its unwavering support for Palestinians in their struggle to regain their inalienable rights and establish an independent state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Addressing the 30th Arab Parliament’s emergency conference in Amman, Jordan, Parliament speaker Fouzia Zainal stressed Bahrain’s commitment, led by His Majesty King Hamad, to the principled stance.
She said that the conference has convened at a critical phase in the history of the Arab and Islamic nations, and urged unity and responsibility in supporting the Palestinian issue, which remains central to Arabs and Muslims despite all regional challenges.
She underlined the responsibility and challenges facing all Arab parliaments and legislative councils to reach stances and resolutions that reflect the aspirations of Arab and Islamic peoples.
She called for a strong stance in line with the final communiqué of the Arab Foreign Ministers’ Council meeting, which rejected any plan which does not take into account the aspirations of the Palestinian people and contradicts international law and UN resolutions.
She stressed the importance of renewing commitment to peace as a strategic option to settle the Palestinian issue.
She underlined Bahrain’s appreciation of the efforts by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his keenness to unify Arab stances.
She also called on the international community to assume its responsibility regarding the protection of the Palestinian people.
Ms Zainal stressed the necessity for the final communiqué to reject all unilateral plans and proposals which fail to take into account the Palestinians’ interests and inalienable rights.
