Iran on Friday slammed a visit by Israel’s foreign minister to Bahrain, calling it a “stain” on the Gulf Arab state’s rulers that “will not be erased”.
In remarks carried by the official IRNA news agency, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s meeting with Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and other senior officials showed that Bahrain overlooked the plight of the Palestinians.
