Iran Blasts Israeli FM’s Bahrain Visit
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The foreign minister of Iran denounced Bahrain’s move to host the Zionist regime’s foreign minister as a betrayal of Palestine.
“The Bahraini government’s welcoming of the foreign minister of the fake Zionist regime is a blatant betrayal of the oppressed and resilient Palestinian people’s cause,” Hossein Amirabdollahian said in a post on his Twitter account on Friday.
Iran only recognizes one country named Palestine with al-Quds as its capital, the foreign minister added.
He also expressed confidence that the presence of Israel in the region would result in nothing but insecurity for Bahrain and the entire region.
Yair Lapid of Israel arrived in Bahrain on Thursday to open the Zionist regime’s embassy in Manama and sign cooperation deals with the Arab country.
He met Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Press TV reported.
