RNA – The February 14 Youth Coalition said that the participation of Khalid ibn Ahmad Al ‎Khalifah, the Bahraini Foreign Minister, at the Warsaw Summit in Poland was an interpretation ‎of the position of the king of the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom in regard to relations with the ‎Zionist regime.‎
‎ ‎
The coalition said that all segments of the Bahraini people despised the actions of the Al ‎Khalifah regime to normalize relations with the Zionist regime.‎

The coalition also warned the Al Khalifah regime of “polluting Bahrain” by inviting Zionist ‎authorities to visit Manamah and said, “If the regime does such an action, it will face the ‎anger of the people.”‎
‎ ‎
On the sidelines of the anti-Iran Warsaw Summit which was organized by the United States, ‎the Bahraini Foreign Minister told The Times of Israel ‎of the “eventual” establishment of ‎diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv and a trip by the current Israeli current prime minister, ‎Benjamin Netanyahu to Manamah.‎

In regard to this news, Bahrainis have held rallies across the country to mark the eighth ‎anniversary of their popular uprising against the ruling monarchy.‎

Pro-democracy protesters in several cities called for an end to human rights violations and ‎the release of rights activists.‎

Since February 14th, 2011, Bahraini people have been holding peaceful protest rallies on an ‎almost daily basis. They are complaining about widespread discrimination against the Shi’ah ‎majority in the kingdom.‎

The Bahraini regime, backed by forces from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and ‎Pakistan, began a deadly crackdown on protesters, which has led to thousands of arrests, ‎scores of deaths and systematic torture of detainees.‎

The two-day, hastily organized Warsaw Summit, which ended on February 14th, was billed as ‎a Middle East security conference but it was an open secret that the gathering of more than ‎‎60 countries was really about getting the world on board with the United States’ tough-on-‎Iran policy, even though the United States denied that was the case.‎
