Bahrain responds to the refusal by the Palestinians to participate in next month’s economical workshop initiated by the United States, saying the Arab country’s hosting it was a manifestation of its support for the Palestinian cause.
The Gulf nation’s foreign minister, Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, says on Twitter that there is no hidden motive behind the Manama conference.
Bahrain supports the Palestinian people in its struggle to “achieve an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in addition to supporting the economy of the Palestinian people in every international and bilateral imperative,” he says.
The goal, he says, is to “enhance their resources to achieve their legitimate aspirations. There is no other purpose for the hosting.”
