"بدهي" - Translation from Arabic to English

We reiterate our statement concerning point 1, to the effect that the phrase “and was associated with” is unnecessary, since, as noted previously, it states the obvious.
نكرر ما قلناه بشأن النقطة ١ فيما يتعلق بعبارة " وكان مرتبطا به " غير الضرورية إذ أن ذلك - كما أكدنا - أمر بدهي.

And the answer is obvious.
والجواب بدهي.
