The Speaker of Bahrain’s Parliament, Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam, voiced full support for remarks made by HM King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, stressing that parliamentary membership does not grant immunity to defend or justify acts of treason.

Al Musallam said the legislature “does not take pride” in any member who supports or excuses actions that harm the nation or its supreme interests, warning that those who deviate from national principles must bear the consequences of their positions.

He expressed regret over what he described as some lawmakers aligning with “traitors,” adding that such positions contradict both patriotism and the oath of office.

The speaker underlined that all members of the legislative authority have national duties, with the country’s interests taking precedence over all affiliations. He said lawmakers must act as a shield for the nation, uphold unity, and represent the people faithfully.

Referring to “Iranian aggression” against Bahrain, Al Musallam said the incident exposed those who had “sold their conscience,” insisting that treason has no justification and no place in the kingdom.

He also praised the readiness and response of Bahrain’s armed forces in confronting the incident, adding that citizens stand united behind the leadership.
