Bahrain Mirror: "Out of the frying pan, into the fire" is the approach the Bahraini government has taken in its dealings with the Zionist entity. This government, lacking a legitimate façade, has turned to the Israeli entity and placed all its trust in this alliance, putting all its eggs in one basket.

In February 2022, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz and his Bahraini counterpart, Abdullah bin Hassan Al-Nuaimi, inked a defense agreement aimed at bolstering intelligence cooperation and training between the two states.

What kind of training will the Bahrain Defense Force receive from Israel? Does it involve teaching Bahraini soldiers to disarm and remove their clothing when facing adversaries?

The commander of the Gaza Division, Israeli General Nimrod Aloni, was captured in his underwear by Palestinian resistance forces, and other Israeli soldiers voluntarily disarmed and shed their trousers.

Ibrahim Sharif, former secretary-general of the opposition, Wa'ad Society, questioned the wisdom of nations normalizing relations with a state that has faltered in defending its own security, with generals who have surrendered in their nightwear without a fight. Is it reasonable for Bahrain to entrust its security and intelligence to such a state? The government of Bahrain goes as far as issuing a statement condemning the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas and accusing it of endangering civilian lives.

This government has abandoned the principles of Arabism, and Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa's hollow declarations regarding the centrality of the Palestinian cause can no longer deceive anyone. Bahrain finds itself in the same camp as Israel untio the end.

Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, expressed little surprise at Bahrain's stance. He remarked, "We expected no different from the foreign minister of this country or another Gulf nation. It wouldn't astonish us if these two nations also provided support to the occupying forces in terms of equipment and weapons." Haniyeh further stated, "You've relinquished your Arab identity, your Islamic values, your souls, yourselves, your dignity, and everything else. You are the disgrace of the Arab world."is

Israel has shed its stripped its trousers, just as the government of Bahrain has stripped itself of all moral values. This is not unexpected from a government that lacks popular support and represents only a ruling family, ready to accommodate any foreign interest.
