Bahrain King: Need to Resolve Palestinian-Israeli Conflict Based on Two-State Solution

Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa reiterated on Friday the need to reach a fair and lasting peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, based on the two-state solution.

He made his remarks in a call with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Bahrain's state news agency BNA said on Friday.

King Hamad hailed the pivotal role played by the United States and its tireless efforts in pushing forward the peace process and achieving security and stability in the Middle East.

The United Arab Emirates last month agreed to normalize ties with Israel under a US-brokered deal. That deal is scheduled to be signed on Sept. 15 at a White House ceremony hosted by Trump and attended by UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan and Netanyahu.

Bahrain has accepted Trump’s invitation to attend the signing of the agreement.
