People in Bahrain have held protest rallies across the Persian Gulf island country to condemn Bahraini officials over receiving Israeli minister of war Benny Gantz, who arrived in the capital Manama on an unannounced visit.
Faraan: On Friday, scores of Bahrainis took to the streets in different parts of the country, including Manama, to denounce Gantz’s visit to Bahrain and the Al Khalifah regime’s normalization of ties with the regime of Israel.
Protesters also walked over the occupying regime’s flag and highlighted their commitment to resist the Tel Aviv regime and support the resistance against the Zionist enemy.
They also carried banners and signs reading “Down with the US, Down with Israel.”
Gantz landed in Bahrain on Wednesday. He is the first Israeli minister of war to ever officially visit the Persian Gulf country, and was accompanied by several top military and security officials, including Israeli navy chief Admiral David Saar Salama. The two sides signed a security pact.
On Thursday, Bahrain’s al-Wefaq National Islamic Society lambasted the Bahrain-Israel security pact as being devoid of legitimacy, warning it would pave the way for “intelligence and military training cooperation” between the occupying regime and Manama.
