Why Doesn't the King of Bahrain Respond to His People and Expel the Israeli Ambassador?

Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): This time it is not just opposition figures but also prominent Sunni figures signing an important petition from Muharraq, urging the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Bahrain. The question looms: why doesn't the King of Bahrain heed the calls of his people, those who take to the streets and participate in seminars, all demanding an end to the shameful normalization agreement with the brutal entity that occupies Palestine and inflicts suffering upon its people?

It's noteworthy that it's not just the opposition's Al-Wefaq Society demanding this move to be made, but the Gathering of National Unity has initiated an elite petition advocating the expulsion of the ambassador. Even the loyal Islamic Al-Menbar Society has issued a clear statement, stating, "In light of this catastrophic situation and the unprecedented Zionist crimes with American support, we demand that the Bahraini government expel the American ambassador."

Hundreds of demonstrators, across various areas from Shahrakan to Al-Malikiyah, from Sitra to Al-Deir, have raised their voices with clear slogans, urging the ruling family to disengage from the destructive normalization project.

So, the question remains: what is the King of Bahrain waiting for before taking the decision to end this abnormal relationship with the anomalous, dysfunctional, and savage entity that perpetrates violence and commits the murder of women and children?

Countries like Bolivia, located in Latin America, decided to sever diplomatic relations with Israel following the horrific massacres against the people of Gaza and Palestine. Meanwhile, Colombia and Chile summoned their ambassadors from the entity and conveyed a clear protest to the Israeli ambassador. Bahrain, on the other hand, has not yet withdrawn its ambassador from the entity, nor has it summoned the Zionist ambassador, Eitan Na'eh, let alone expel him and his intelligence personnel from Bahrain.

Why does the King of Bahrain persist in enduring this shame, especially when the normalization agreement was reached without consulting the people of Bahrain, and for what purpose? Is it for protection? However, the reality has exposed that this entity is incapable of protecting itself against the determined Palestinian resistance, as well as other resistance movements in the region.

O King of this country, the entity you are aligning with received assistance from Western fleets to safeguard itself against Arab organizations that embraced resistance as their choice. How then can it protect you?

Palestine, and Gaza in particular, do not need your propaganda and a mere symbolic gesture, like the video showing you praying with your children and grandchildren and asking for their prayers for the wounded children of Gaza. What Palestine and Gaza truly need is for you, and other delusional people, to reconsider the normalization agreements and expel the Israeli ambassador from Bahrain.

Your people, regardless of their religious affiliations, Sunni and Shiite alike, are uniting in their call for you to expel Ambassador Eitan Na'eh, close the occupation embassy, and distance Bahrain from the shame of normalization. What will be your response?
