The secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation and chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, commented on the Bahrain's conference and changing of phrases from peace to "prosperity".

Al-Wefaq Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi said "the Bahraini regime is contributing to the elimination of the Palestinian cause for the benefit of the Zionist entity and under its conditions, by embracing a Zionist-American conference to inaugurate the first part of the so-called Deal of the Century."

Palestinian businessmen, economic and trade institutions and unions have received invitations to participate in the economic workshop organized by the United States in Bahrain next month, Anadolu Agency reported.

Palestinian businessman and founder of Rawabi City Bashar Al-Masri rejected the invitation he received to participate in "Peace to Prosperity" workshop that will be held in Bahrain.

The Palestinian National Authority refused to take part in the US-led economic conference to be held in Bahrain as a first step in the implementation of its new Middle East peace plan known as the "Deal of the Century".

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said that the Palestinians had not been consulted about a US-sponsored conference in Bahrain to be held next month, aimed at encouraging international investment in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society declared that the deal of selling Jerusalem and Palestine is a great betrayal and the fact that the regime is seeking to host the deal is a violation of all national, Islamic and humanitarian principles and a complete negligence of responsibility.

The Nationalist Democratic Assembly announced its opposition to all steps and forms of normalization with the Zionist entity, and its rejection of the economic workshop “Peace for Prosperity” to be held in Bahrain.

The Israeli delegation which will participate in the Entrepreneurship Congress, to be held on April 15, will also attend on the same day morning a ceremony held by the US Embassy marking the National Day of the United States of America.

Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim issued on Tuesday (April 2, 2019) a statement on the Zionists participation in the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Bahrain and dubbed this hosting "a bold step on the path of humiliation and surrender rather than the honorable one."

Several Israeli speakers are to appear at a business conference in Bahrain next month, a move condemned by MPs in the tiny Gulf state Sunday. At least three Israeli speakers, including the Israel Innovation Authority's deputy chief Anya Eldan, are scheduled to speak at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Manama, according to the forum's website.

The House of Representatives said that it received a clarification from the government regarding its statement on participation of number of Israelis in Global Entrepreneurship Congress.

A number of Palestinian activists and sympathizers with the Palestinian cause launched a campaign against Bahrain's Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.

An interfaith group from Bahrain said it has sent a delegation to Israel to promote "tolerance and coexistence," but insisted that it does not represent the government in Manama. The non-governmental organization, which calls itself "This is Bahrain," said it had no official status though its mission statements say it has the backing of King Hamad.

The Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa received on Monday (April 10, 2017) the President of Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas, weeks before Bahrain receives an Israeli sports delegation.

Hezbollah Secretary General, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, denounced how Bahraini government allowed the “worst Zionist organization” to enter country, in reference to the Zionist delegation that visited Manama, accompanied by an Israeli musical band.

Deputy Secretary General of the National Islamic Society al-Wefaq, Sheikh Hussein al-Daihi said that “there is no place for Zionists in Bahrain” and “they are rejected on all levels, as there is no way for normalization or making truce with them”
