Bahrain has said it will not allow the import of Israeli products produced in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Bahrain’s state-run BNA news agency reported that the Gulf state’s trade minister had refused to accept Israeli products this week.

Bahrain’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism Zaid bin Rashid al-Zayani said Manama would not accept imports of Israeli products produced in Israel or in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights.

On the other hand, official sources in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism said that the minister’s statement was misinterpreted and that the ministry was committed to the Bahraini government’s unwavering position on compliance with UN resolutions.

Under EU guidelines, products must be clearly labelled when exporting to EU member states, while President Trump’s administration last month removed US customs distinctions between goods made inside Israel and in the occupied territories.
