MP Waleed Al Dosari said Iran’s missile attacks on Bahrain, and the war’s wider impact across the Gulf, had left the kingdom facing what he called a greater national responsibility.

He urged unity at home and firm, fair law enforcement against anyone accused of trying to stir division or serve outside agendas.

The lawmaker said heightened tensions in the region were showing up across security, the economy and the media, and called for maximum alertness and cohesion inside Bahrain.

Division

Al Dosari warned against anyone seeking to exploit the moment to stir division, cast doubt on state institutions, or side with foreign agendas at the expense of Bahrain’s interests.

Disagreement was protected, he said, but any act that harmed Bahrain’s security, or any allegiance to another state, was “rejected in full”.

He said protecting unity at home was a duty that allowed no exceptions, and that the law must decide “without overreach or laxity”.

Voice

Bahrain, he added, needed to stand as one and speak with a unifying national voice that rose above narrow interests and kept “Bahrain first, always”.

“Our homeland is not an arena for settling regional scores, nor a platform for agendas that do not recognise its sovereignty and the independence of its decision-making,” he said.

In the same remarks, Al Dosari thanked His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for what he described as wise leadership and clear judgement that had kept Bahrain safe and stable through “the most delicate circumstances and toughest challenges”.

Foundations

He also praised His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for continued work to support development and strengthen what he described as the foundations of a strong state able to deal with regional and international developments.

“The Kingdom of Bahrain by God’s grace first, then through the wisdom of its leadership, the vigilance of its men, and the awareness of its people will remain resilient against anyone who seeks to harm it,” Al Dosari said, calling on the public to close ranks and “affirm in every position that our loyalty is to Bahrain alone”.
