His Majesty King Hamad yesterday addressed the repercussions of the war and the unjustified attacks launched by Iran against the kingdom.
He said the country was successfully overcoming the challenges of the current stage through the efficiency of its defence, security and civil defence forces, the solidarity of citizens, and the effective management of the government to ensure all essential needs are met and respond professionally to emergency developments.
He made the remarks as he received senior officials, during which several matters related to national affairs were reviewed as part of efforts to continue the kingdom’s progress and fulfil the aspirations of its citizens.
His Majesty expressed pride in the achievements of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, in advancing government work and driving further development across various sectors.
He added that the state will proceed firmly in addressing the consequences of the war. The King noted that HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister has been assigned, during the coming phase, with implementing comprehensive and decisive measures, including the introduction of programmes to resolve any gaps that have been identified in the defence or economic sectors.
His Majesty also directed the immediate initiation of legal measures against those who have betrayed the nation or undermined its security and stability, alongside a review of cases relating to entitlement to Bahraini citizenship, with the appropriate legal procedures to be applied accordingly.
He said that the situation remains sensitive and calls for steadfast adherence to national responsibility and the safeguarding of the homeland with no tolerance for negligence or dereliction of duty.
His Majesty further emphasised that the nation deserves the utmost sacrifice, affirming that Bahrain will remain committed to its positions advocating the resolution of crises through peaceful means and diplomatic efforts, in a manner that serves the interests of the peoples of the region and the world.
