Bahrain must stand firm in the face of regional turmoil, with national unity serving as the first line of defence, a Member of Parliament has urged.

Dr Maryam Al Dhaen, who sits on the Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security Committee, said Bahrainis must uphold solidarity and resist any efforts to sow division, calling it a “historic responsibility” for every citizen.

“We are aware of the magnitude of the surrounding dangers,” she said. “We must rise to this historic responsibility by standing united against every attempt to destabilise or undermine our national principles. There is no room for complacency or division, as Bahrain is strong because of its people and their awareness.”

Support for leadership

Dr Al Dhaen affirmed full backing for the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, saying Bahrain’s strength rests in its cohesion around wise governance.

She also praised Bahrain’s foreign policy stance, describing it as balanced and rooted in peace and stability. Bahrain’s “firm and declared” position on regional developments, she said, is evidence of that commitment.

Responsibility online

Calling on citizens to turn away from misinformation, Dr Al Dhaen cautioned against the dangers of rumour-mongering during tense times.

“Social media should be platforms for building and solidarity, not tools for destruction or spreading rumours,” she said, urging the public to rely only on official channels for updates.

Final appeal

Dr Al Dhaen concluded her remarks by offering prayers for Bahrain’s safety and prosperity and called for insight and awareness as the nation navigates this sensitive period.
