Statement by Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Conference of the Palestinian Ambassadors to the Arab Countries
Your Excellency Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, the Deputy Prime Minister,
Your Excellency, Riyadh Al Maliki, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the brotherly State of Palestine,
Your Excellencies Ambassadors of the State of Palestine to the Arab Countries,
Honorable Guests,
Blessings of God be upon you,
 It is to my pleasure and honor, to convey to you the greetings of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the king of the Kingdom of Bahrain and to tell you that the Kingdom of Bahrain is pleased to host your conference on its soil and welcome you to your second country, as Bahrain is your country, in the same way the cherished Palestine is our country.
Being your brothers, we haven’t spared any effort and we will never do, to support your legitimate demands from the International Community and we congratulate you on the many achievements you’ve made, including Palestine’s win of observer state at the UN, full membership in UNESCO and other international organizations and the conclusion of a number of international agreements and conventions, which reinforces its position as a state, and represents a step forward in the Palestinian people’s march towards gaining independence and have their own full sovereign state, with East Quds as its capital.
This is one of the natural rights of the brotherly Palestinian people that cannot give up and that has been confirmed by International resolutions and agreements.
At the meantime, we reiterate our strong condemnation of Israel’s settlement policies, aimed to swallow up the Palestinian land and change its demographic structure, considering such policies moral and human crimes that must be halted in order to reach just and permanent peace.
Your Excellency,
Dear brothers,
What is happening, to our dear brothers in Gaza Strip; the flagrant assault, oppression and savage atrocities, at the hand of the Israeli Occupation Forces, and the bloodshed and killing of innocent people and destruction of infrastructure and property, stand proof on Israel’s flagrant aggression of all international laws and conventions.
We, in the Kingdom of Bahrain, strongly condemn and disapprove of these criminal acts, as well as we stress the need for the international Community to assume its role in protecting the brotherly people of Palestine and to force Israel to halt its raids and heinous practices.
And in continuity of its usual stance, the kingdom of Bahrain, is, as it has always been, at the forefront to support you, our brothers, and thus His Majesty the King, has given his directives to the Royal Charity Organization to continue with its efforts and assume its duties by doing what it is necessary to serve our Gazan brothers in all fields.
Finally, I hope your conference will reach tangible decisions and a strategic vision that could push the national action forward and help the noble Palestinian people realize their aspirations.
May God bless you and bless Palestine and its dear people with every security, stability and advancement.
Peace and blessings of God be upon you
