Bahrain seeks Mediterranean pact to fight Terror Money

TDT | Manama Bahrain's Shura Council has taken the lead in pushing for a unified parliamentary framework to fight terrorism financing across the Mediterranean region, with Second Deputy Chairperson Dr. Jihad Al-Fadhel urging the adoption of a common legislative charter. The call came during the 7th meeting of the Parliamentary Coordination Mechanism on Counter-Terrorism, hosted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean in collaboration with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), held via video conference on Friday. Dr. Al-Fadhel emphasised that confronting terrorism demands more than military or executive action. She called for a shared legal system among parliaments to strengthen oversight, protect communities, and clamp down on the financial networks that support extremist acts. 'Security cannot be achieved without true international solidarity and unified political will,' she said. Bahrain's stance also brought digital threats into focus, with Al-Fadhel highlighting the urgent need to police cyberterrorism and cross-border digital attacks. Shura Council member Leena Habib Kassim also joined the session, which included firm condemnations of recent escalations in the region. Delegates called for peaceful resolutions and stressed the need for future joint legislative initiatives. The session concluded with plans to enhance Mediterranean parliamentary coordination through the second half of 2025.

Bahrain to Reopen Embassy in Lebanon After 4 Years

Bahrain is preparing to reopen its embassy in Beirut and appoint a resident ambassador, in a move that signals a fresh chapter in relations between the two nations after nearly four years of diplomatic tensions. The announcement came after a meeting between Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and Bahrain's newly appointed Ambassador to Lebanon, Waheed Mubarak Sayyar, who is currently based in Syria. During the meeting, Sayyar expressed Bahrain's support for Lebanon as it works toward recovery and rebuilding its institutions. He also emphasized Bahrain's commitment to restoring strong diplomatic ties. Prime Minister Salam welcomed the gesture, reaffirming Lebanon's desire to rebuild trust and strengthen its relationship with Bahrain and the wider Arab world. Bahrain had closed its embassy in Beirut in October 2021, following a major diplomatic fallout between Lebanon and several Gulf countries. The tension stemmed from comments made by Lebanon's former Information Minister, George Kordahi, who criticized the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen. His remarks drew sharp backlash, prompting Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait to recall their ambassadors and expel Lebanese envoys. Kordahi stepped down in December 2021 in an attempt to ease the crisis. Now, with Bahrain's decision to re-engage, both sides appear ready to turn the page and rebuild a partnership grounded in mutual respect and regional cooperation.
