The utter cluelessness of the Palestinian leadership continues.
In an interview with Asharq al-Awsat, Bahrain's Foreign Minister Dr. Abdul Latif bin Rashid Al-Zayani emphasized that Bahrain still supports the Arab Peace Initiative.
He also took pains to say how much Bahrain supports the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people, and even went out of his way to compliment the Palestinian leadership:
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Palestinian leadership, its firm positions and its continuous efforts to safeguard the rights of the brotherly Palestinian people and work to achieve their legitimate aspirations, and with regard to Bahrain, it affirms its commitment to its continuous and supportive approach to the efforts to enable the Palestinian people to advance their capabilities and enhance their resources to achieve their legitimate aspirations, like other peoples in the world.
Dr. Muhammad Shtayyeh, the Palestinian Prime Minister, said: “We record for history our condemnation of the Bahraini normalization with Israel, following that of the condemned Emirati move, which is a flagrant violation of the official and popular Arab position.”
Shtayyeh said in a statement on Saturday evening that normalization was striking a blow to the Arab backbone and joint Arab action is nothing but a service for the country of use of Israel and its protector, and it is intended for narrow, short-term accounts with the American administration, above considerations of strategic issues, at the expense of the aspirations of the Arab and Islamic nation, Palestinian rights, and legitimization of occupation, settlements, and repeated aggression against Al-Aqsa.
Now, Bahrain and the UAE have a chance to pressure Israel to make peace with the Palestinians. They will be in constant contact with an Israeli leadership that is not only willing but eager to work with them.
Do Palestinian insults against them make it more likely or less likely that they will act to help the Palestinians?
