Manama (QNN)- Hundreds of Bahrainis protested on Friday against the normalization deal between their country and the occupation state. Protesters marched towards the Israeli embassy, raising Palestinian flags and chanting slogans in solidarity with Palestine before policemen cracked down on them.
As soon as the protest started, Bahraini forces surrounded the place and targeted the protesters with tear gas bombs. They also arrested some protesters and took them to an unknown place.
A Bahraini delegation had visited occupied Jerusalem this week and entered Al Aqsa mosque under Israeli protection. The visit sparked outrage on social media.
Last week, the Israeli Minister of foreign affairs, Yair Lapid, inaugurated the Israeli embassy in Manama. He also met the king of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, as well as other officials in the gulf country.
Meanwhile, massive protests took to the streets of the country, rejecting the opening of the embassy and normalization.

An Israeli group, whose founder supported US President Donald Trump’s plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and was founded by soldiers and former intelligence officers, was behind last year’s flights that facilitated the travel of hundreds of Palestinians from the war-torn Strip and landed in South Africa and Indonesia, an AP investigation has found.
Israel is reportedly planning to further restrict the entry of aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, despite the so-called ceasefire and amid an already severe humanitarian crisis after two years of genocide.
While presenting the Oscar for Best International Film, Javier Bardem began his remarks by saying, “not to war and free Palestine,” drawing a loud round of applause from the audience at the March 15 awards ceremony.
