The Arab Observatory for Human Rights (AOHR) called on the United Nations General Assembly to activate its Resolution "Uniting for Peace" No. 377 to stop Israel’s war on Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Thursday, the Observatory, which is affiliated with the Arab Parliament, also called on it to provide legal support and crimes documentation to the requested investigation by the Palestinian Authority from the International Criminal Court.

AOHR expressed concern over the continuation of the Israeli war in Gaza, which will cause dire consequences for the security and stability of the whole Middle East region.

It called on the international community and the International Criminal Court to take urgent action and investigate the war crimes committed by Israeli forces against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza.

Additionally, the Observatory urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to form an international fact-finding committee that focuses on human rights violations and other war crimes committed in Gaza.

The US and Bahrain on Wednesday signed a cooperation agreement in the field of peaceful nuclear energy shortly before a meeting in the White House between US President Donald Trump and Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Bahraini Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

“This is an important signing,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the signing ceremony with his Bahraini counterpart, Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani.

He added: “It serves as the first step towards a deeper civil nuclear cooperation – an example that the United States is prepared to be a partner with any nation on Earth that wants to pursue a civil nuclear program that clearly is not geared towards weaponization or threatening the security of their neighbors.”

Rubio did not mention by name Iran, which Israel and Washington accuse of seeking nuclear weapons.

“And this is a – no one better to do it with than such a strong partner that we’ve been working with for so long. This only strengthens our relationship,” Rubio said.

Later at a meeting with Trump, Bahrain's Crown Prince announced plans to invest more than $17 billion in the United States.

“We're very happy to be announcing $17 billion worth of deals that are coming to the United States,” said Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. He then joked with journalists at the White House, saying, “And this is real. These aren't fake deals.”

Asked whether Iran should return to the negotiating table with the US over its nuclear program, the Crown Prince said: “The ball is in their court. They are the ones who stand to benefit from a negotiation.”
