Al-Wefaq Denounces ‘Illegitimate’ Bahraini Regime’s Deal with Israel
In a statement on Friday, the movement said the deal has been reached between two illegitimate regimes, Al-Alam TV reported.
The move is a betrayal of Islam and the Islamic, Arabic consensus against the occupying regime, it added.
The statement underlined that normalizing ties with Israel in in contrast to the Bahraini people’s wishes.
In a joint statement, the United States, Bahrain and Israel said the agreement was reached after Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on Friday.
The agreement comes only a month after the United Arab Emirates became the first Persian Gulf Arab country to reach a deal on normalizing relations with Israel.
Bahrain is the fourth Arab nation to reach such a deal with Israel after Egypt, Jordan and the UAE.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has condemned the Bahrain-Israel normalization deal as another betrayal by an Arab state.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, said the deal was an “aggression” that dealt “serious prejudice” to the Palestinian cause.
