Bahraini opposition condemns arrival of Israeli delegation

The deputy secretary-general of Bahrain’s opposition Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society said “there is no place for Zionists in Bahrain” after the country’s authorities decided to host an Israeli delegation to take part in a FIFA congress in May next year, Iran’s Press TV reported.

Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi condemned the decision saying that hosting an Israeli delegation in Bahrain’s capital city Manama is contrary to the country’s values as “there is no place for Zionists in Bahrain”.

The regime’s decision to embrace the Zionists is an illegitimate decision, and does not represent Bahrain, or express the will of the Bahraini people

He reiterated that “the people of Bahrain will never abandon the Arab and Muslim cause, through trading with the Palestinian cause and Al-Aqsa Mosque” and that “Bahrainis are all with Palestine.”
