Bahrain Expresses Deep Concern Over Israeli Military Offensive Plans in Rafah

Manama, The Gulf Observer: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain has conveyed profound concern regarding Israel’s proposed ground military offensive targeting the city of Rafah, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. Rafah stands as the last secure haven for over a million Palestinians.

In an official statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted the alarming repercussions such an attack could have on the lives and humanitarian conditions of civilians. It also underscored the potential serious implications for regional security and stability.

The Ministry urgently called upon the international community and the United Nations Security Council to intervene promptly and effectively to prevent the Israeli military offensive. This call stems from the belief that such an attack would constitute a grave violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

Bahrain reiterated its unwavering stance, advocating for an immediate ceasefire and rejecting any attempts to forcibly displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip. The Kingdom emphasized the need for providing protection to civilians and ensuring their swift and permanent return to their homes.

Furthermore, Bahrain expressed steadfast support for initiatives aimed at achieving a sustainable and peaceful resolution to end the conflict, discouraging the expansion of military operations in the region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed Bahrain’s commitment to fostering regional stability and contributing to efforts that promote lasting peace in the affected areas.
