Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli delegation that canceled its participation at a conference in Bahrain this week pulled out of the business confab after a Shia terrorist group released a video directly threatening the Israeli participants.
The video uploaded to social media by Saraya Waad Allah Militia showed explosions targeting the hotel the delegation intended to stay at and the conference center where the Global Entrepreneurship Network was being held.
