The Palestinian issue will remain at the heart of the Arab nation, said Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, stressing the firm position of Bahrain that calls for achieving a comprehensive and just peace in the Middle East as a strategic option. Dr Al Zayani emphasised that there is no solution to the Palestinian issue without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the borders of June 4 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the two-state solution and the resolutions of international legitimacy.

He made the remarks as he participated in the work of the 157th session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the level of foreign ministers, held yesterday in Cairo and headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants of the Republic of Lebanon, Dr Abdullah Bouhabib.

Dr Al Zayani delivered a speech in which he noted the challenges and threats facing the Arab world, calling for joint Arab action in order to preserve the security and stability of the region and its people.

The Minister expressed Bahrain’s condemnation of the attacks carried out by the terrorist Houthi militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, affirming the Kingdom’s full support for all steps taken by the two brotherly countries to confront such attacks.

He congratulated Yemen on the issuance of the UN Security Council resolution on February 28, 2022, designating the Houthis for the first time as a terrorist group.

Dr Al Zayani expressed his thanks and appreciation for all the sincere diplomatic efforts made by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Yemen and the brotherly Arab countries in cooperation with friendly countries which resulted in the issuance of this important resolution.
