Arab Youth Rising Bahrain urges cooperation
Bahrain has called for stronger Arab unity and deeper investment in youth empowerment as countries across the region mark Arab Youth Day on Saturday. The annual occasion is seen as a chance to recognise young people's role in shaping the region's future.
Minister of Youth Affairs Rawan bint Najeeb Tawfiqi said the Kingdom is guided by the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. She noted that youth form the core of any true renaissance and are essential to sustainable national progress.
'All institutions in Bahrain are working to create an environment where young people can realise their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society,' the minister said.
Tawfiqi also highlighted the leadership of His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, HM the King's Representative for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs. She credited his youth-driven vision and programmes for unlocking innovation, leadership, and social responsibility across Bahrain and the Arab world.
The minister called for closer Arab coordination to align policies, share knowledge, and foster a new generation equipped to lead with confidence and vision. She expressed pride in Bahraini and Arab youth who are committed to building communities, serving others, and advancing their nations.

Israeli negotiators due in Qatar for Gaza truce talks
TDT | Manama An Israeli delegation was expected in Doha on Sunday for talks on a Gaza truce and hostage release deal, ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House. Netanyahu had earlier announced he was sending a team to Qatar, a key mediator in the conflict, though he said that Hamas's response to a draft US-backed ceasefire deal included some "unacceptable" demands. Faced with mounting calls to end the war that is nearing its 22nd month, Netanyahu is due to meet on Monday with US President Donald Trump, who has been making a renewed push to end the fighting. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Israel's coastal hub of Tel Aviv for a weekly rally demanding the return of hostages still in the Gaza Strip since Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war. Macabit Mayer, the aunt of captives Gali and Ziv Berman, called for a deal "that saves everyone". Hamas said Friday it was ready "to engage immediately and seriously" in negotiations. A statement from Netanyahu's office said that "the changes that Hamas is seeking to make in the Qatari proposal... are unacceptable to Israel", while also sending negotiators to discuss "the Qatari proposal that Israel has agreed to". On the ground, Gaza's civil defence agency said 14 people were killed by Israeli forces on Sunday. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency.
