MANAMA, Friday, January 5, 2024 (WAFA) - The Kingdom of Bahrain strongly condemned the extremist racist statements made by two ministers in the Israeli government regarding the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, reoccupation of the Strip and the construction of settlements there.

In a statement, the Ministry stressed that such statements violate the principles of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, warning that they would undermine the peace process, as well as ignite tension and instability in the region, according to the Bahrain News Agency.

It reiterated Bahrain’s position calling for reaching an immediate, permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, protecting civilians and meeting their humanitarian needs.

It also called for creating suitable conditions for resuming a just and comprehensive peace process to ensure granting the Palestinian people their legitimate rights to establish their independent state on the borders June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution.
