At Geneva Conference, Bahrain Renews Call for Two-State Solution for Palestine
Bahrain has reaffirmed the importance of dialogue and international parliamentary cooperation as a path to achieving lasting peace and justice in a world facing increasing political and humanitarian challenges. Speaking at the 6th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Jamal Mohamed Fakhro, First Deputy Chairman of the Shura Council and head of Bahrain's parliamentary delegation, said that today's complex global crises demand collective action and multilateralism. 'Constructive dialogue creates sound policies that serve mutual interests and protect nations and people from the tragedies of wars and conflicts,' Fakhro said. He emphasized the growing role of parliaments in promoting good governance, building trust between nations, and upholding international law and human rights. Fakhro also addressed the deepening humanitarian crises caused by armed conflicts, climate change, and widening development gaps. He stressed that history has repeatedly shown that 'lasting peace can only be achieved through honest and responsible dialogue based on shared values and mutual respect.' Highlighting Bahrain's commitment to peace and human dignity, he renewed the Kingdom's call for an international conference to resolve the Palestinian issue based on the two-state solution. He condemned the ongoing suffering of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza under the current blockade, and urged the global community to ensure the establishment of a sovereign, viable Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders. Fakhro urged parliaments around the world to embrace their historic role in building a culture of peace, not just as a political slogan but as a legislative and moral responsibility that ensures social and economic justice. He called on the Inter-Parliamentary Union to continue championing just causes and acting as a voice for the world's conscience. Despite global instability, he expressed hope that international institutions, led by the Inter-Parliamentary Union, could help steer the world toward peace and prosperity. 'Hope will never fade as long as parliaments stand firm on principles and give voice to the aspirations of people,' he concluded. Bahrain's delegation to the conference included Jamal Mohamed Fakhro, MP Abdulnabi Salman Ahmed, and Dr. Bassam Ismail Al-Benmahmood, a member of the Shura Council's Foreign Affairs, Defense, and National Security Committee.

France, Saudi push two-state peace path
TDT | Manama France will formally recognise the State of Palestine in September, French Foreign Affairs Minister JeanNoël Barrot announced during a high-level international conference in New York, marking a decisive shift in European diplomacy that now aligns with Saudi Arabia's regional peace-building efforts. The move was revealed at a UN General Assembly-led plenary session on the peaceful settlement of the Palestine question, where Barrot called on world leaders to join what he described as an 'irreversible momentum' toward a two-state solution. The September announcement is expected to coincide with a summit of heads of state and government during the UN General Assembly. Arab Coordination The French minister praised the coordination with Saudi Arabia, which is working with France to revive the stalled peace roadmap. He said this new collective initiative has already led to historic commitments from both the Palestinian Authority and regional Arab powers. Barrot cited a recent letter from the Palestinian Authority to President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince HRH Mohammed bin Salman, where the Palestinian leadership condemned the 7 October attacks for the first time, pledged the disarmament of Hamas, promised to end payments to prisoners convicted of terrorism charges, and announced elections for 2026. 'This recognition, a major decision by France, expresses a refusal, and also contains a call,' Barrot told the assembly, urging countries that have not yet recognised Palestine to act now while the political window remains open. Two-State Revival The announcement comes amid concern that the two-state solution is slipping further out of reach. Barrot warned that the current trajectory, marked by ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, the expansion of West Bank settlements, and the political fragmentation of Palestinian territories, has placed the prospect of coexistence in mortal danger. He sharply criticised both Hamas and Israeli extremists, saying the violence and rejectionism on both sides were undermining any viable path to peace. 'The two-state solution is about to give way to perpetual confrontation,' he said, stressing that France's recognition of Palestine is meant to empower non-violent actors, isolate Hamas, and pressure Israel to abandon annexation plans. Next Steps France's top diplomat called on Arab and Muslim countries to renew normalisation efforts with Israel and help construct a regional security architecture. He also urged Israel to lift the humanitarian blockade on Gaza, cease its military operations, and resume dialogue. Barrot framed the move as both a moral imperative and a strategic necessity. 'Today, we have the opportunity to save a peace process. That is our responsibility before history,' he said. France's recognition will make it the first permanent member of the UN Security Council to take such a step since Russia's recognition in 1988, and could provide new diplomatic momentum in the lead-up to the UN General Assembly summit this September. So far, over 140 UN member states have recognised Palestine, but France's move carries unique weight given its position in both the EU and global security institutions. France's message, Barrot concluded, is simple. 'Refusing to give up on peace is the most powerful act of diplomacy in our time.'

Bahrain Highlights Peaceful Innovation at Global Parliamentary Conference in Geneva
Bahrain reaffirmed its commitment to promoting peaceful innovation as a key driver of sustainable development and stability during the 6th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament, held in Geneva from July 29 to 31. Dr. Bassam Ismail Al-BenMohammed, a Shura Council member and representative of Bahrain's parliamentary delegation, said that under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Bahrain has built a comprehensive national framework to support innovation in governance. He explained that this approach not only enhances digital transparency but also empowers young people and civil society to contribute meaningfully to decision-making, while keeping pace with global changes in a way that balances national values with international developments. Speaking at a panel discussion titled 'Innovation for a Peaceful Future and New Solutions for a Turbulent World,' Dr. Al-BenMohammed highlighted Bahrain's achievements in developing legislation that supports peaceful innovation and the knowledge economy. These include landmark laws on personal data protection, cybercrime, electronic transactions, entrepreneurship, and intellectual property—reflecting the Kingdom's clear political will to use innovation as a tool for stability and long-term peace. 'Innovation for peace is not a luxury or just a slogan,' he said. 'It is a conscious political act, reflected in forward-looking legislation, effective oversight, and fair partnerships that restore people's confidence in peaceful change. Every law passed with foresight and every transparent decision is an innovation that serves human stability.' Bahrain's delegation to the conference also included Abdulnabi Salman Ahmed, First Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives. The event, organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union in cooperation with the United Nations, carried the theme 'A World in Turmoil: Parliamentary Cooperation and Multilateralism for Peace and Justice for All.'
