<p>GAZA CITY (Ma&#8217;an) &#8212; Deputy Prime Minister of the Gaza government Muhammad Awad applauded the growing prominence of the Palestinian issue in the Arab world, after meeting with a delegation from Bahrain during their visit to the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Gaza premier Ismail Haniyeh is in Bahrain as part of his second regional tour in recent months, and met with his Bahraini counterpart Prince Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa on Sunday.</p>
<p>Meanwhile a delegation from Bahrain visited the Prime Minister&#8217;s office on Monday, after which Awad praised Palestine&#8217;s ties to the Gulf kingdom.</p>
<p>He said the Palestinian cause was now more important than ever before, and considered a Muslim cause that all should support.</p>
<p>The deputy premier urged Arab and Islamic countries to break the siege on the Gaza Strip. Israel has tightened a land and sea blockade on the 1.5 million-strong population since Hamas seized power in 2007.</p>
