“Whilst the Kingdom of Bahrain regrets Canada’s position, based on totally erroneous information that have nothing to do with reality on the ground, it absolutely rejects its unacceptable intervention in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the statement added.
In addition to Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates’ Anwar Gargash also tweeted Monday that “We can only stand with Saudi Arabia in defending its sovereignty and laws and taking the necessary measures in this regard,” the tweet read.
“We can not accept that our laws and sovereignty are subject to pressure or compromise, the belief of some States that their model allows them to intervene in rejected affairs rejected,” Gargash’s tweet continues. Unlike Bahrain, Gargash did not name Canada specifically.
(Note: Gargash’s tweet was originally posted in Arabic, and was translated by Google Translate for use in this story).
