Last week, Palestinian authorities condemned the decision of the US-led economic symposium in Bahrain, emphasizing that it was not consulted during the planning process of the conference.
The Palestinian Authority also decided to boycott the conference, emphasizing that the plan aims to force Palestinians to “sell” their country.
Nabil Shaath, adviser to the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas said last week: “We will inform Bahrain that we will not take part in such a conference.”
He added, “We will not sell our country based on an economic project.”
The Palestinian government also called on Arab states to boycott the conference. Several Arab countries, especially in the Gulf have announced their support for the event, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
