His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa chaired the weekly Cabinet meeting held at Al Sakhir Palace, in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. 

His Majesty the King delivered an address expressing deep gratitude and appreciation to all those who have demonstrated, in word and deed, their patriotism and support for the Kingdom of Bahrain, including their responsible backing of the recent measures taken to safeguard the kingdom’s unity and stability against any threat to national unity and the process of achieving further development and prosperity. His Majesty thanked members of state institutions, community figures, writers, authors and poets for their valued support. 

His Majesty praised the sincere expression of unity and loyalty shown by Bahraini citizens and families, describing them as a powerful reflection of national cohesion. His Majesty said it was an honour to reaffirm the Kingdom’s commitment to its people and renew the pledge to defend the homeland and preserve the values that unite the nation. His Majesty expressed appreciation, respect and gratitude for the steadfast positions demonstrated by the people of Bahrain, noting that their support strengthens confidence in the future and reinforces the nation’s determination to move forward with optimism and purpose. 

Addressing the Iranian aggression, His Majesty the King said it has sought to harm the efforts of development in the region, disregarding international conventions and laws, and the principles of good neighbourliness. His Majesty said that Bahrain’s resilience and restraint during an unprecedented war of defence reflected a longstanding national commitment to consolidating regional stability and supporting international peace, security and prosperity.
