Face Of Nation : Bahrain says its only aim in hosting a US-led economic workshop next month, the first part of President Donald Trump’s long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal, is to help the Palestinians achieve their “legitimate aspirations” for an independent state.
Bahrain’s foreign minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa said in a series of tweets on Tuesday that the Gulf nation’s position continues to be to support the Palestinians in their struggle to “achieve an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in addition to supporting the economy of the Palestinian people in every international and bilateral imperative.” The goal of hosting the June 25-26 economic workshop in Manama, he said, is to help the Palestinians “enhance their resources to achieve their legitimate aspirations. There is no other purpose for the hosting.”
