In an interview with RT channel about Bahrain hosting a conference to pass the US-Israeli deal of the century, Abdulla Al-Junaid attacked Mustafa Al-Bargouti, secretary general of the Palestinian National Initiative, accusing him and the Palestinian leaders of latching on to positions of leadership for long periods of time.

In an unprecedented step in the region, Bahrain announced on (June 2, 2019) allowing foreign companies to own 100% in projects of natural oil and gas extraction inside the country.

The “Gongo” union that seceded from the General Federation of Workers Trade Unions in Bahrain (GFWTUB) is to disunite after withdrawal of four unions affiliated with it.

It is ironic that Bahrain, which is known as the “Retweet Island” for being fully obedient to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi’s will, is preventing its citizens from “following” or “retweeting” anti-government accounts and incriminating anyone who follows such accounts or retweets their tweets.

Frustration and angry reactions in the Arab and Islamic world have been ongoing since Bahrain announced hosting Trump’s so-called deal of the century at the end of June. Widespread outrage has been raised against Bahrain, whose government, along with Saudi Arabia and the UAE have made a platform for publicly betraying the Palestinian cause and a corridor for normalization deals with the Zionist enemy.

Despite the complete crackdown on the popular protests in Bahrain, Bahrainis took to the streets on Quds Day commemorated by Arab and Muslim peoples on the last Friday of Ramadan. Several protests were staged in Bahrain since Friday eve and were met with force as Bahraini regime forces used toxic gases as usual to confront them.

The Bahraini Ministry of Interior announced that it released arms and drugs dealer Abdulrahman Khalifa Al-Dhahrani on Thursday (May 23, 2019). It, however, denied that the king released him, stressing that his release came through the judiciary, which is claimed to be an independent authority.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are putting Bahrain in the firing line. They are pushing Bahrain to do the dirty work that they don’t want to be responsible for. They don’t want to get their hands dirty when it comes to the economic conference to be held in Bahrain, dubbed the “Deal of Century” which Palestinians have rejected and called for boycotting.

A full month hasn’t passed yet since the Entrepreneurship Congress that was held last April and Bahrain has already announced hosting the US-organized economic workshop in June, as a part of a plan dubbed the “Deal of the Century”. Why is it always Bahrain?

From among the 5,000 political prisoners in Bahrain, the King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has released none. Of the 5,000 political prisoners, only one has been sentenced to alternative punishment.

Bahrain Press Association (BPA) issued in May its annual report for 2018 entitled "Bahrain, the Kingdom of Closed Doors".

If the Palestinians themselves refuse to take part in the “Peace to Prosperity” workshop (first step of the so-called deal of the century) which is to be held in Manama in June, what does the Bahraini government still have to say to justify hosting the conference?

Although Al-Bandar report was repeatedly mentioned in press reports, some people haven’t been acquainted with the report and its details. However, what happened last week draws a clear picture of how fake public opinion is created and how inflammatory campaigns are launched by the Royal court, same as Al-Bandar report.

The King was still in Paris. In a bold red title, Al-Watan newspaper quoted the Bahraini king’s words to the French president: "The Bahrainis’ concern for the Notre-Dame Cathedral stems from their respect for places of worship."

The meeting chaired by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa immediately upon his arrival from a foreign tour was not surprising, but the joint meeting of the Council of Ministers (Cabinet) and Supreme Defense Council added a security dimension to the event.

“I do not know a country other than Bahrain carrying out a random naturalization process...we know what happened in Palestine, I don’t know any other country,” said imprisoned opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman while speaking about the catastrophic process of naturalization that Bahrain has been committed to.

The first session of the fifth legislative round of the Shura council and House of Representatives ended on Wednesday (May 15, 2019) on King Hamad’s order. What did the House of Representatives achieve during this time?

The unannounced truce between the Royal Court and the Prime Minister’s Court didn’t last long. The dispute that was publicly managed on social media outlets and that lasted for 3 months (from February until April 2018), and ended with the arrest of Mohammad Al-Shorouqi as well as others over charges of managing the “Na’eb Ta’eb” Twitter account, seems to emerge again but in another fashion.

Activists working on the Bahraini file since Wednesday May 8, 2019, can present the letter of complaint, sent by the Jaafaria Endowments Directorate to the King, as official document shedding light on discrimination and persecution experienced by Bahraini Shiites in all aspects of life.

Speaking to Time magazine a year ago, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman promised to reduce the death sentences to the minimum. What do numbers say one year later?
