Bahrain Builds Training Legacy
Organised in cooperation with the Arab Trainers Union and the Forum for Training and Trainers, the two-day event brings together more than 30 experts, academics, and training professionals from across the Arab world to discuss the latest practices and trends in professional development.
Youth Focus
Dr. Al Dhaen said her patronage of the forum reflects her belief in the importance of preparing a new generation of Bahraini trainers, describing it as an investment in the future. She noted that national talent has the potential to transform the training sector and advance human development across the Kingdom.
Building a pool of highly skilled and knowledgeable Bahraini trainers, she said, would help shape future professional and intellectual leaders capable of offering innovative solutions to emerging challenges and reinforcing Bahrain's standing as a regional centre of excellence in training.
This direction, she added, aligns with the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the priorities of the government led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, which place youth empowerment at the heart of national strategy.

Bahrain's Islamic Council Condemns Gaza Starvation Tactics and Calls for Ceasefire
The Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs held its 29th regular session of the fifth term today, Tuesday, chaired by Shaikh Abdulrahman bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Khalifa, the Council's Chairman. At the start of the meeting, the Council praised the unwavering royal support for mosques and Islamic endowments across Bahrain. His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has continuously cared for the construction, maintenance, and allocation of land for mosques and endowments in every city and village. The Council also appreciated the government, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for its continued efforts in this regard. The Council emphasized that this support reflects Bahrain's deep belief in the mosque's vital role in Muslim life, as a place to promote values and reinforce social unity. It also commended the generosity of Bahraini philanthropists, who actively contribute to endowment projects and mosque development. The Council reviewed updates on its plans to enhance mosque services, encourage charitable endowments (waqf), and support ongoing mosque construction projects. Members reiterated that endowments are among the most rewarding charitable acts, benefiting society through continuous good deeds and social solidarity. On regional developments, the Council strongly condemned Israel's ongoing violations against holy sites and international laws, and its policies that endanger security and peace. It denounced the starvation tactics targeting the people of Gaza, which have claimed the lives of many innocent civilians, including the elderly, women, and children. The Council called for an urgent and responsible international stance to protect civilians, ensure the rapid flow of humanitarian aid, lift the blockade on Gaza, and implement an immediate ceasefire. It also welcomed the efforts of Saudi Arabia to secure international recognition for an independent Palestinian state, affirming that the Palestinian cause remains central to the hearts of all Muslims. In addition, the Council reviewed the conclusion of the sixth session of the 'Tafsir Councils' program, led by Dr. Khalid bin Saad Al-Mutrafi, former professor of Quranic studies at Qassim University. The sessions, held at the Ahmed Al-Fateh Islamic Center from June 27 to 30, brought together over 290 participants, including Quran teachers and students of Islamic studies. Over the course of six sessions, 227 lessons were recorded, covering interpretations from Al-Fatiha to Al-Ma'idah, which have been uploaded to the Quran Teachers Institute's YouTube channel. The Council expressed deep appreciation for this effort and prayed for the successful completion of the program to cover the entire Quran. The session concluded with the review of correspondence and requests, with the necessary actions taken.

Netanyahu Reportedly Opted For Permanent Military Occupation
Israel's Channel 12 broadcaster is reporting that the Israeli government has made the decision to occupy the Gaza Strip on a permanent basis. Correspondent Amit Segal reports Monday, 'Senior official in Netanyahu's office: The decision has been made — we're going to occupy Gaza.' The top official has been further quoted as saying: 'If we do not act now, hostages will die of starvation and Gaza will remain under Hamas control.' But the last days have seen conflicting reports over the status and future of the ground operation, dubbed 'Gideon's Chariots'. What has become clear in the last week is that negotiations are off, as Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered an expanded ground incursion in central Gaza. With much of the Strip already decimated, and inhabitants on the verge of mass starvation, a big question has remained for Netanyahu: what's next? Hardline politicians in his own cabinet have called for the total removal of the Palestinian population, after President Trump months ago talked about turning the enclave into the 'Rivera of the Mediterranean'. Indeed a key question remains, will Trump back a plan of permanent Israeli military occupation? This would certainly open up the likelihood of eventual annexation of the territory. ⚡️ Israel decides to 'OCCUPY' Gaza — Channel 12Top official: 'If we do not act now, hostages will DIE of starvation and Gaza will remain under Hamas control'Will Trump support this? — RT (@RT_com) August 4, 2025 But without doubt, a Hamas insurgency will remain active for the time being. But the race will be on to save the remaining hostages, who have been filmed in starving and extreme conditions by their Hamas and Islamic Jihad captors. Also on Monday, US House Speaker Mike Johnson travelled to the Israeli occupation settlement of Ariel in the West Bank, declaring while there that the Palestinian territory is the 'rightful property' of the Jewish people. mike johnson, who literally shut down the house last week to block the release of the epstein files, is now praying at the western wall in a yarmulke… — Jon Miller (@MillerStream) August 3, 2025 In response, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry (PA) condemned his visit and 'inflammatory statements on the annexation of the West Bank.' It further said, 'The ministry considers this a blatant violation of international law, international legitimacy resolutions, and the Arab and American efforts to stop the war, halt the cycle of violence, and achieve calm.'Also read: End Game: Netanyahu Now Plans To Annex Gaza, Bowing To Extremist Members Of Coalition

MP calls for return of traditional Mukhtar system to settle local disputes
Reviving Bahrain's traditional Mukhtar system (local community mediator) would ease the strain on the justice system by sorting out minor disputes informally, MP Jalal Kadhem has said. Kadhem urged the government to reintroduce the Mukhtars legally under the Governorates Law, suggesting the system could reduce caseloads on the courts by settling disagreements amicably within neighbourhoods. 'Many cases reaching official channels today are quite minor and could be handled perfectly well by a Mukhtar,' he said. 'It saves official resources and builds trust in community-driven solutions.' The Mukhtar once played a strong role in Bahraini neighbourhoods, mediating in disputes, assisting locals with paperwork, and acting as a link to government bodies. Problems Kadhem said the return of Mukhtars would help communities identify problems early and deal with them quietly. 'Historically, the Mukhtar system succeeded in keeping communities together,' he said. 'Restoring it would mend family divisions and restore traditional social bonds.' He noted the Cabinet had previously backed the system in 2011 as a way to support local governors and maintain public order. Social shift According to Kadhem, current social shifts and rising family disputes mean that reviving it has become urgent. 'The Mukhtar helps maintain Bahraini customs and traditions,' he said. 'They can defuse family disagreements and calm tensions without involving the courts.' Kadhem also criticised reliance on social media to air family grievances, suggesting it usually inflames tensions rather than resolving them. 'Social media thrives on controversy, not calm,' he warned. 'Problems are best handled discreetly by trusted community figures.' Kadhem concluded by saying the reintroduction of Mukhtars across Bahrain's villages and towns matched the leadership's vision of community collaboration and would prevent minor issues from growing into serious crises.
