Al-Wefaq calls Bahrain’s FM for resignation over pro-Israel remarks

Bahrain’s opposition Al-Wefaq party is calling on the country’s Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa to resign after the latter expressed support for Israel’s latest attack on Syria.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Bahrain’s opposition Al-Wefaq party is calling on the country’s Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa to resign after the latter expressed support for Israel’s latest attack on Syria.

In a Tweet earlier this week, Al-Khalifa said that Israel had the “right to defend itself”. Al-Wefaq has described the remarks as a “disgrace … [and] a crime against Islam, the Palestinian cause and the nation as a whole.”

The group noted that such statements do not represent Bahrain or its people, who reject a normalization of ties with Israel.

In recent months, Manama has come under growing criticism over its expanding relationship with Tel Aviv, which many Arabs regard as an act of treason.

Al-Wefaq added that the exchanges between the two regimes will fail in acquiring legitimacy.
