Council of Representatives Speaker Fawzia bint Abdulla Zainal stressed that the declaration to support peace is a sovereign decision and a historic step aimed at backing peace efforts in the region, towards ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and reaching the two-state solution, in accordance with the resolutions of International Legitimacy and the Arab Initiative.

She added that the courageous step taken by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa is in line with Bahrain’s approach of openness and co-existence, and keenness to achieve security, stability, progress, and prosperity.

The peace declaration also confirms Bahrain’s firm supportive stance towards the brotherly Palestinian people’s full legitimate rights, which top Bahrain’s priorities, she said, stressing Bahrain’s commitment to Arab fundamentals, the most important of which are the Palestinian rights. The Speaker made the statements while receiving yesterday Swiss Honorary Consul-General Humbert Vincent Buemi.
