His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa underlined the importance of unifying efforts to avoid any worsening of the Palestinian situation, to work for the release of any detained civilians, and to protect all civilians who — under international humanitarian law — must not be the target of any conflict.

HM the King stressed the need to open urgent humanitarian corridors for the entry of medical and relief aid, food, water and the provision of electricity to Gaza, reaffirming that the Kingdom of Bahrain supports the coordination of all efforts towards achieving a just peace, stability and security for all the peoples of the region.

He reaffirmed Bahrain’s keenness to continue its approach to strengthen security and stability and consolidate peace in the region, and its firm position towards finding a just solution to the Palestinian issue, by giving the Palestinian people their legitimate rights, in order to reach a two-state solution in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative, in a way that guarantees the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

His Majesty made the statements as he met yesterday with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at her Office in Rome, as part of his ongoing visit to Italy. During the meeting, they reviewed the strong relations between the two countries, as well as various aspects of cooperation and joint action that achieve their common interests.

They also discussed the latest regional and international developments, and in particular developments in the Gaza Strip. HM the King expressed his appreciation for the important role played by the Italian Republic at the international level in the service of international peace and security. HM the King returned home yesterday after UK and Italy visits.
