GAZA, Palestine, Oct 21 (NNN-WAFA) – Islamic Hamas movement, ruler of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, condemned on Sunday, Israel’s participation in a security conference held in Bahrain.
“Those who normalise relations with Israel bear part of the responsibility for Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people,” Hazem Qassem, Hamas spokesman, said in a statement.
All attempts to “integrate” Israel into the Arab region will fail, he added, noting, Israel will always remain the “central enemy” of all Arab peoples.
A day earlier, Israeli media reported that Israel would send an official delegation to a maritime security conference in Bahrain, on Sunday, to discuss Iranian threats to naval security in the region.
Israeli Public Radio confirmed that the conference, which will be attended by dozens of countries, is an initiative backed by U.S. President, Donald Trump.
According to the radio, the conference is a continuation of the Warsaw security summit, which was held earlier this year and focused on Middle East stability.
In the Arab region, Israel has formal diplomatic relations with Egypt and Jordan only. However, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said, his country has improved ties with some Arab countries.– NNN-WAFA
