As Bahrain Mirror predicted, Bahrain's official policy with its people in terms of normalization with Israel is summed up as follows: trick people into thinking it won't happen, then surprise them.

Saeb Erekat, Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), dubbed the Bahraini and Emirati deals with Israel "peace for protection".

Interior Minister Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa said on Monday (September 14, 2020) that establishing relations with Israel is a "protection to the country's supreme interests," stressing that declaration of support for peace doesn't mean neglecting the Palestinian cause.

The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society announced in a brief statement that it decided to revoke the membership of former Al-Wefaq member, Jassim Hussein, after his participation in a Zionist channel.

A telephone call was held on Monday between Defence Affairs Minister, Abdulla bin Hassan Al-Nuaimi, and his Israeli counterpart, Benny Gantz, Bahrain News Agency reported.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, arrived in Washington to take part in the signing ceremony of the peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, as well as signing the Declaration of Peace between the Kingdom of Bahrain and Israel.

The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society confirmed that it "disowns any person or party in contact with individuals, parties or institutions of the Zionist Entity."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that "the two peace accords he will sign with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in Washington will inject billions into the local economy."

The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Bahrain's largest opposition society, said on Sunday (September 13, 2020) that the Bahraini regime uses intimidation and threats to force some institutions to support its normalization agreement with the Zionist entity

The Progressive Democratic Tribune declared its opposing position to all forms of normalization with the Zionist entity and considered normalization between Bahrain and the Israeli entity as a withdrawal from Bahrain's previous positions of support for the Palestinian people.

Bahraini Society Against Normalization with Zionist Enemy deplored the agreement of normalizing relations between Bahrain and Israel, stressing that "this doesn't reflect the supporting stance of the Bahraini people to the Palestinian people."

Bahraini opposition groups have said they reject a decision by the Gulf state to normalize relations with Israel, with a leading Shi'ite cleric on Sunday calling on the people of the region to resist.

Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim commented on Bahrain normalization with the Israeli enemy saying that "Normalization is a misfortune and a harbinger of evil spread over the religion and the nation," adding that "It will fall when the people's will, power and governance are activated."

Three Bahraini human rights organizations, namely BFHR, GIDHR, and SALAM DHR, said that the declaration of normalization between Bahrain and the Israeli occupation entity is the most dangerous decision in the course of ending political rights in Bahrain.

Ismail Radwan, a senior member of Hamas, said that Bahraini normalization with Israel is a crime and a stab in the back of Palestinian people.

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh praised on Saturday (September 12, 2020) the free Bahraini voices opposing the normalization deal with the Israeli occupation, adding that he is confident that Palestine and its just cause remain in the hearts of all the Arab and Islamic peoples and all the free peoples of the world.

Crowds of Bahrainis staged protests on Saturday against the official normalization of ties between Bahrain and Israel and the exchange of embassies' openings.

The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society; largest opposition society in Bahrain, described the agreement between the Bahraini regime and Israel as a total betrayal of Islam and Arabism and an abandonment of the Islamic, Arab and national consensus.

Amnesty International said that no diplomatic agreement can change Israel's legal duties as an occupying force, in a reference to the normalization agreement between Manama and Tel Aviv.

This degrading peace is not in our name. The stab in the back of the Palestinian people is not in our name. "We, the people of Bahrain, sacrifice ourselves for Palestine and Arabs and all Muslims".
