Bahrain announced on Thursday the departure of the Israeli ambassador from the country, the return of its ambassador from Tel Aviv, and the cessation of economic relations with Israel.

In a statement, the Parliament said that the move comes as a confirmation of Bahrain’s “historic and firm position in support of the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, which was declared by the King of Bahrain in all conferences and events.”

“The parliament affirms that the continuation of war and military operations, and the continuing Israeli escalation in light of the lack of respect for international humanitarian law, prompts it to demand more decisions and measures that preserve the lives of innocent people and civilians in Gaza and all Palestinian areas,” the statement read.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives expressed King Hamad bin Isa’s keenness to support the Palestinian cause, and his firm and unwavering position on the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international resolutions.
