Describing the announcement of a normalization deal between Bahrain and the zionist occupation regime as a deep shame, HAMAS said: “Another Arab country is trapped by normalizing ties with the occupation under the name of ‘peace’. It’s a horrible and faulty agreement by a country having an Arab identity.”

HAMAS underlined that the agreement constituted a grave threat to security, stability, and prosperity in the region, in addition to its horrible consequences on the Palestinian issue.

“Started by fellow Gulf country the United Arab Emirates, the rush for normalizing ties with the Israeli occupation is a political crime and a major failure to understand the Israeli plans and threats in the region. It will further encourage the US administration to implement the Deal of Century and ruin the Arab unity.”

HAMAS continued as follows: “In light of this agreement announced following the weak position of the Arab League towards the Emirati deal with the Israeli occupation, we would like to confirm the following points:

We reiterate that Hamas condemns and rejects the Bahraini normalization agreement with the Israeli occupation brokered by the US administration.  We see it a stab in the back of the Palestinian people and a move that does not serve the interests of Bahrain, the Arab world, and the Islamic Ummah.

Hamas warns against the repercussions of this dangerous move that will lead to more integration of the Israeli occupation in the region and facilitate more Israeli hegemony.

This agreement means that the Bahraini rulers side by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian cause and the interests of the Aran nations. It’s against the Arab people’s popular standpoint against normalization. We call upon the Arab world to lunch the biggest campaign possible to fight normalizing ties with the illegal Israeli occupation at popular and official levels. ‘

Any outcome of this agreement does not represent the Palestinian people, the Arab nations, or the free people of the world. In response to it, we will adhere to unity and activate all forms of resistance against the Israeli occupation.”

On Friday, the United States President Donald Trump announced that Bahrain and Israel had agreed to establish full diplomatic relations. (ILKHA)
