Oman to open embassy in Palestine as first Gulf State

SANAA, June 27 (YPA) – The Sultanate of Oman said on Wednesday that it has decided to open an embassy in the Palestine in support of the Palestinian people.

“In continuation of Oman’s support for the Palestinian people, the Sultanate of Oman has decided to open a diplomatic mission at the level of embassy in the State of Palestine,” the foreign ministry said in a statement on Twitter.

The move coincides with a US-led economic conference in Bahrain to unveil US President Donald Trump’s plan for the so-called peace in the Middle East.

Trump’s plan is known as the “deal of the century,” and is seen by supporters of the Palestinian people and resistance as a scheme that seeks to eliminate the Palestinian cause.
