Bahrain welcomes humanitarian pause in Gaza

The Kingdom of Bahrain has welcomed the deal on a four-day humanitarian pause in the Gaza Strip, subject to extension, allowing the exchange of a number of hostages and detained women and children, as well as the delivery of humanitarian, relief and medical aid, including fuel to Gaza.

In a statement, the Foreign Affairs Ministry commended the joint mediation efforts made by the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States of America.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the international community to intensify diplomatic efforts to reach a permanent ceasefire, release hostages and detainees, as well as ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid in a complete and sustainable manner.

It also called for rebuilding the affected areas in the Gaza Strip and reviving the just and comprehensive peace process to grant the Palestinian people their legitimate rights in establishing their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the two-state solution and the international legitimacy resolutions.
