Hamas described Arab states’ efforts to normalize ties with Israel as “a stab in the back of the just Palestinian cause”, a spokesman said.
In a press release, official Hamas Spokesman Abdel-Latif Al-Qanou said:
“Normalizing ties with the Israeli occupation state is also a stab in the back of all the nations which reject the occupation.”
Hamas leader Haniyeh, while in Tehran, calls on boycott of any normalization with Israel.

He added:
“The Zionist Israeli occupation will remain the main enemy for the Palestinians and the Arab nations, and [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s visits to the Arab states will not legitimize it.”
He called for the Arab states “to stop all forms of normalization with the Israeli occupation, isolating it and disclosing its crimes against the Palestinians.”

This comes as reports are circulating that Netanyahu is due to make an official visit to Bahrain. The Israeli prime minister made a similar visit to Oman in October while ministers from his government have attended conferences and international events in the UAE.
