Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa tweeted “the right step to maintain GCC is to freeze Qatar’s membership” on Sunday.
The full tweet read “The right step to maintain the GCC is to freeze Qatar’s membership in the Council until it controls its mind and responds to the demands of our countries, but we are fine with it exiting the Council.”
الخطوة الصحيحة للحفاظ على مجلس التعاون هي تجميد عضوية قطر في المجلس حتى تحكم عقلها و تتجاوب مع مطالب دولنا و الا فنحن بخير بخروجها من المجلس

He also tweeted: “Bahrain will not attend a summit and sit with Qatar, which is nearing Iran day after day and preparing foreign forces, which are dangerous steps for the security of the GCC countries.”
لن تحضر البحرين قمة و تجلس فيها مع قطر و هي التي تتقرب من ايران يوم بعد يوم و تحضر القوات الأجنبية و هي خطوات خطيرة على أمن دول مجلس التعاون
