ShareKUWAIT: Hundreds of protesters gathered at a demonstration at Irada Square on Sunday, organized by political and civil organizations. The event marked the 100th day since Hamas’ “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation and the Zionist-American criminal war of genocide against Gaza and Palestine that has claimed a surging civilian death toll and ravaged the besieged Palestinian territory.
“Hundred days is a period that may shape a future that may determine one’s fate, and today this period started a revolution to correct the path and achieve victory. This is what our heroes in Gaza are, who succeeded in breaking the image of (the Zionist entity’s) strong intelligence. Despite the wounds, the pain and the afflicted families, the Zionists were unable to reach a single (Zionist) captive,” MP Hassan Jowhar said during the demonstration.
“The 100 days have recorded unprecedented success. Today, the Arab and Western peoples are liberated from the restrictions of their governments. They are taking action, and there has become a culture of boycott among Arabs and Muslims. Even our children are calling for a boycott that harms the financial and economic situation of the Zionists and their allies who support them,” he said.
Jowhar emphasized that today’s gathering aims to bring attention to the upcoming 100 days that may reshape the political and geopolitical landscape. He cautioned against reprehensible efforts to sow discord within Arab nations, designed to entangle both the countries and their people in internal conflicts. Jowhar stressed the importance of vigilance to prevent being drawn into the quagmire of strife.
“Today, for the first time, the Zionists are being dragged into international courts by South Africa, and we in the National Assembly unanimously demanded that the government of Kuwait join the team of victory of the Palestinian cause. There will be a depletion of economic forces, especially concerning oil exports. But beware if the horizons of war expand, causing side battles in the region. We must be careful and there must be joint political action,” he added. “We hope to stop the bloodshed as soon as possible with weapons, diplomacy and boycotts, and to the Palestinian people — we are with you until the final victory.”
Lawyer Ahmed Al-Hammadi, Vice Chairman of the Civil Conservative Party, called on the Kuwaiti government to allow Kuwaiti lawyers to be a part of the historic trial. “I’m calling on the ministry of foreign affairs in Kuwait to join or send a defense team to the International Court of Justice to support South Africa. Kuwait has lawyers who could be of assistance in prosecuting this occupier,” he said.
“We all feel helpless and think about what we can do for the people of Gaza. This message is for the people. You have a role to play in prosecuting and holding this occupier to account. South Africa and its legal team posted on social media a website asking everyone to file any material or documentation of the crimes committed by the Zionists, and we can be assistants to their team. This is a beginning. Anyone who has such materials must provide them with this data,” he added.
Lulwa Al-Mulla, Chairperson of the Women’s Cultural and Social Society, passionately stated: “We convene today to voice the Kuwaiti people’s outrage over the ongoing genocide inflicted upon the Palestinian people for the past 100 days – 25,000 martyrs, with 70 percent being children and women, in addition to those wounded and missing under the rubble.” She questioned the absence of justice and humanity and appealed to the world’s conscience, urging a collective response to the dire situation.
“Today, Gaza is witnessing the largest genocide in history. All of this is happening in front of television cameras, and everyone is watching. We call on the international community and organizations to confront the brutal practices against a defenseless people,” she stressed.
Mulla praised the position of Yemen and South Africa. “We know that South Africa sacrificed its economic interests and its international interests, but the Arabs abandoned them to preserve their interests. We say to the steadfast people of Gaza and all our brothers that this is your destiny and your legendary steadfastness will not be in vain, but will be recorded as a shining sign against injustice, and we remain in solidarity with Palestine until the State of Palestine is established with Jerusalem as its capital,” she vowed.
