In a post on Twitter, the Russian Embassy in Tel Aviv blasted the planned US conference in Bahrain, writing:
"After the failed conference in Warsaw, there is another US attempt named “Peace to prosperity” aimed at shifting the priorities of the regional agenda and imposing an “alternative vision” for the Israeli-Palestinian settlement. The persistent desire to replace a comprehensive political solution with some economic “bonuses” is of deep concern. At this difficult stage, collective efforts to launch Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are needed, rather than unilateral "deals" of opportunistic nature."
