Al-Khalifa has established warm relations with the Zionists since the signing of the compromise agreement, and recently appointed its ambassador to Tel Aviv, which provoked the anger of the Bahraini people.
The UAE-Bahrain compromise agreement with the Zionist regime was formally signed on Tuesday evening (September 16, 2014) in the presence of former US President Donald Trump, and the two small Gulf Arab states revealed their long-standing secret relationship with the Zionists. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain recognized and signed a peace agreement that made the secret relations between their country and the Zionist regime public, without fulfilling even one of the conditions set out in the Arab Peace Initiative.
The normalization of relations with the Zionist regime is taking place at a time when the people of Bahrain have repeatedly protested against this regime and the normalization agreement.
This warmth of relations between Al Khalifa can be considered as serving the Zionists for free, because this normalization has no cost for Tel Aviv. Based on an initiative presented by Saudi Arabia and accepted by other countries, the Zionist regime had to recognize the formation of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, allow Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, and return to pre-1967 borders, thus adhering to the land-based peace law, on the other hand, the Arab countries of the region also recognized the Zionist regime and publicly established and expanded their relations with it in all political, economic and security dimensions, but what Israel was able to achieve was not peace on the ground.
Economically, such an agreement, in addition to its great importance, is a win-win agreement for the Zionist regime. In terms of military and technology, the Zionist regime will reach the consumer market of the GCC countries, which, due to their climatic conditions, need tools for water desalination and advanced agriculture.
On the other hand, the Zionist regime, by beating the drum of Iranophobia, encourages the sheikhdoms to buy more weapons of this regime, especially since these countries in the Persian Gulf, including Bahrain, do not have a popular base and consider themselves in need of support from others.
Instead of relying on their people, they sometimes turn to the United States and sometimes to the Zionist regime. This is in fact attaching to the mirage, because what Al-Khalifa is attached to to ensure its security, that is, the Zionist regime, is itself weaker than the spider’s web.
The warmth of Al Khalifa’s relations with the Zionist regime will not have economic-security advantages for Manama; rather, it exacerbates the crisis of legitimacy of the Al-Khalifa regime.
