This was revealed by Parliament’s foreign affairs, defence and national security committee chairman MP Mohammed Al Sissi, who said that an agreement has been reached with the government.
He made the announcement on his Twitter account, while he and other MPs are still holding an urgent meeting to resolve the issue of the stranded Bahrainis.
Present in the meeting, which is being held at the National Assembly Complex in Gudaibiya, are Health Minister Faeqa Al Saleh, Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani and Parliament and Shura Council Affairs Minister Ghanim Al Buainain along with senior government officials.
