CAIRO: Kuwait on Monday called on the international community to take a solemn stance against the Zionist occupation’s war crimes against the Palestinian people and the continuous violation of international laws. This came during Kuwaiti Ambassador to the Arab League Talal Al-Mutairi’s speech at the Arab League emergency meeting on Gaza, held at the league’s headquarters in Cairo under the chairmanship of Morocco, the current president of the Arab League.
Mutairi added the Palestinian people are going through difficult times due to the Zionist occupation army’s constant violation of international laws, which requires a unified stand by the international community. Peace in the Middle East will not prevail until the Palestinian people are given their rights by forming an independent state according to the June 1967 borders, Mutairi said. Until such rights are given, then violence and hatred will continue for generations and from war to war, the Kuwaiti ambassador noted.
Mutairi called again on the international community to stand in unity in stipulating the two-state solution and giving the Palestinian people their legitimate rights. The Palestinian people have suffered for a very long time and were forced to abandon their homes, leading to a life of despair and agony, the ambassador said.
He pointed out the escalation of Zionist crimes in the occupied West Bank, the systematic destruction of Palestinian refugee camp infrastructure, the daily raids on dozens of Palestinian cities, villages and camps, and the Zionist blockade of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Mutairi reaffirmed Kuwait’s supportive stance towards the Palestinian people to gain their legitimate rights that are guaranteed by international laws. He reiterated that Kuwait would exert all efforts possible to aid the Palestinian people with humanitarian aid and provide a decent living condition.
The ambassador welcomed South Africa’s move in its case against the Zionist occupation authority at the International Court of Justice. The meeting comes after the Zionist military launched a devastating war on Gaza on Oct 7, 2023, causing a humanitarian crisis. About 1.9 million people, or more than 85 percent of the population of Gaza, have been displaced, according to Palestinian authorities and the United Nations. – KUNA
